Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionaex-1 encodes a novel, C2 calcium-binding domain protein that is similar to human BAP3 proteins and rat Munc13; in C. elegans, AEX-1 functions in retrograde signaling to regulate presynaptic activity and localization of the synaptic vesicle fusion protein UNC-13; AEX-1 is required for the defecation motor program, specifically the anterior body wall and enteric muscle contractions, and for normal locomotion, male mating, and egg laying; mutation of dgk-1, or a gain-of-function mutation of egl-30, suppresses the aex-1 mutant phenotype; AEX-1 is expressed primarily in the anterior and posterior intestine and in body wall muscle cells; tissue-specific expression in the intestine rescues defecation defects, while expression in body wall muscle cells rescues UNC-13 localization defects; genetic analyses suggest that aex-1 and aex-5, which encodes a prohormone convertase, function in the same pathway to regulate retrograde signaling at neuromuscular junctions.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001256

Automated_descriptionInvolved in several processes, including lipid transport involved in lipid storage; positive regulation of transport; and reproductive behavior. Predicted to be located in exocytic vesicle. Expressed in amphid neurons; body wall musculature; and intestine.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
