Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionceh-37 encodes one of three C. elegans proteins with an OTX-like homeodomain; however, CEH-37 lacks other domains found in OTX proteins, and the CEH-37 homeodomain is predicted to resemble the Myb domain of telomere-binding proteins; CEH-37 binds the telomeric sequence 'TTAGGC' if it is repeated at least 1.5 times, and is mainly localized to the telomere in vivo; ceh-37 mutants have a weak increase in chromosomal nondisjunction; CEH-37 is involved in specifying some aspects of the AWB olfactory neuron fate, such as expression of an AWB-specific odorant receptor and a LIM-class homeodomain protein, LIM-4; CEH-37 is expressed broadly in the early embryo, while in larvae and adults it is expressed solely in the excretory cell.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00006000

Automated_descriptionEnables DNA binding activity, bending and double-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity. Involved in neuron fate specification; olfactory behavior; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in chromosome, telomeric region. Expressed in several structures, including ABarpaap; dorsal nerve cord; excretory cell; head muscle; and head neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 7 and cone-rod dystrophy 2. Is an ortholog of human CRX (cone-rod homeobox).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Remark[Burglin T] registered gene name
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.CGC_data_submission
