This gene encodes a protein containing an F-box, a motif predicted to mediate protein-protein interactions either with homologs of yeast Skp-1p or with other proteins; this gene's encoded protein also contains an FTH/DUF38 motif, which may also mediate protein-protein interaction.
Enriched in dopaminergic neurons; head mesodermal cell; intestine; and muscle cell based on tiling array; RNA-seq; and microarray studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; daf-2; and daf-12 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by twenty-five chemicals including methylmercury hydroxide; methylmercuric chloride; and Tunicamycin based on RNA-seq and microarray studies.
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.
