Allele (47)
Legacy_information[Chen E] Vul, Egl, SM migration defects. Stronger alleles are larval lethal. Males do not mate.
[C.elegansII] ay9 : Vul, Egl, SM migration defects. Stronger alleles are larval lethal, Unc,defective in Q daughter migrations, M lineage. Males do not mate, have defective tails. OA3: ay412 (severe Unc, Vul), ay37,ay38 (both larval lethal). Encodes PBC class homeoprotein. Antibody stains posterior of embryo, RVG and VNC of larva; weak staining in body muscle and hypodermis.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionceh-20 encodes one of three C. elegans homeodomain proteins (CEH-20, CEH-40, and CEH-60) homologous to Extradenticle (Exd/Pbx); together with ceh-40 and unc-62, ceh-20 activity is required for embryonic viability; ceh-20 is also required as a cofactor for LIN-39- and MAB-5- dependent postembryonic mesoderm patterning; in addition, ceh-20 is required for regulating post-embryonic migrations of the Q neuroblast descendants and for regulating vulval development; a CEH-20::GFP fusion protein is expressed in embryos and postembryonically in many cell types including the Q, P, and V cells and their descendants; CEH-20 localizes to the nucleus.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004482

Automated_descriptionEnables cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and transcription coactivator binding activity. Contributes to RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell differentiation; positive regulation of mesodermal cell fate specification; and regulation of asymmetric cell division. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Expressed in several structures, including P1.p; P2.p; neurons; seam cell; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract syndrome with or without hearing loss, abnormal ears, or developmental delay; esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; and glaucoma. Is an ortholog of human PBX4 (PBX homeobox 4).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
