ceh-91 is a divergent homeobox gene; it encodes a highly divergent double homeobox domain (named Hochob), and two divergent homeodomains; most homeodomain proteins bind DNA and function as transcription factors; ceh-91 is expressed in intestine, renal gland cells, and head neurons;
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin organization and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in dorsal nerve cord; head muscle; and ventral nerve cord.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
