Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionchs-2 encodes a putative chitin synthase, paralogous to CHS-1; CHS-2 isrequired for synthesis of chitin lining the inner pharyngeal surface(primarily in the buccal cavity and grinder), while CHS-1 is dispensablefor pharyngeal chitin; CHS-2 is also required for normal pharyngealshape and function, and for larval viability; chs-2(RNAi) animals haveabnormally large, misshapen grinders, and arrest as early larvae; chs-2is expressed by the glandular pharyngeal g1 and g2 cells, and by m3 andm4 myoepithelial cells; chs-2 is transcribed in short periods beforeeach larval molt; the pharyngeal expression of chs-2 parallels gna-1;CHS-2 is predicted to be in the plasma membrane rather than the Golgiapparatus.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004881

RemarkGene was renamed from chi-2 to chs-2 at request of CGC, note that the other name 'chs-1' is from the Brugia malayi ortholog...this ortholog may be renamed in the future to clarify the situation.CGC_data_submission
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
