Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionvab-23 encodes a novel 253 amino acid coiled-coil containing a C-terminal C4H2 zinc finger domain; VAB-23 is a conserved protein and has a strong homology to human hepatocellular carcinoma antigen (HCA127) (OMIM: 610334); vab-23 is required in ventral neuroblasts for ventral closure and elongation of the embryo, specifically to regulate proper cell contacts between contralateral pairs of ventral epidermal cells; vab-23 is also required for vulval cell morphogenesis; in regulating vulval development, vab-23 acts downstream of the EGFR/RAS/MAPK pathway and the CEH-20 and LIN-39 transcription factors, the latter of which binds vab-23 regulatory sequence; VAB-23, in turn, regulates the expression of the SMP-1 semaphorin, the EFF-1 fusogen, the EGL-26 acyltransferase, and LIN-3/EGF in vulval cells, binding SMP-1 and EGL-26 regulatory sequence in vivo; the highly conserved C-terminal zinc finger domain of VAB-23 is necessary for VAB-23 function; VAB-23::GFP is expressed in the nuclei at the onset of epidermal morphogenesis, predominantly on the ventral posterior of the embryo, ventral neuroblasts, and two posterior ventral epidermal cells; within nuclei, VAB-23::GFP appears to localize to nuclear speckles that correspond to regions of lower DNA content.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00035263

Automated_descriptionInvolved in several processes, including embryonic body morphogenesis; epidermis morphogenesis; and vulval development. Located in nuclear speck. Expressed in several structures, including hermaphrodite somatic gonadal cell; ventral uterine precursor; vulval cell; vulval muscle; and vulval precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Miles-Carpenter syndrome. Is an ortholog of human ZC4H2 (zinc finger C4H2-type containing).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap 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.CGC_data_submission
