Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionarx-7 also called as p16Arc encodes a subunit of the actin related protein of the conserved Arp2/3 complex, with 60% amino acid similarity with the homologous genes from human (OMIM: 604227); arx-7 is an essential gene as disruption in the expression by RNAi results in embryonic arrest due to ventral enclosure during morphogenesis; Arp2/3 depletion results in partial shrinking of the Ea/p apical surfaces and incomplete Ea/p cell internalization; WSP-1 activates Arp2/3 complex and their function in ventral enclosure is cell autonomous; Arp2/3 regulates some Apical Junction components in embryos and adults; Arp2/3 is required during intestinal morphogenesis for regulation of intestinal lumen width in embryos and apical F-actin accumulation during larval and adult growth. Mutations in arx-7 cause PDE axon guidance defects; arx-7 mutants affect PQR growth cone morphology and filopodia formation; arx-7 acts cell-autonomously in PQR filopodia regulation.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005843

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Involved in Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; epithelial cell migration; and morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in anchor cell; hypodermis; and linker cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung squamous cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human ARPC5 (actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 5) and ARPC5L (actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 5 like).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
