The ced-11 gene encodes a predicted transmembrane ion channel related to the long transient receptor potential channel (LTRPC) subfamily of TRP channels found in Drosophila and mammals; CED-11 functions as a downstream effector in the programmed cell death pathway and may play a role in affecting the morphological changes seen in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and plasma membrane of apoptotic cells.
Predicted to enable monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in apoptotic cell; head; hypodermis; and tail.
