grd-10 encodes a hedgehog-like protein, with an N-terminal signalsequence and a C-terminal Ground domain; GRD-10 is expressed in seamcells; the Ground domain is predicted to form a cysteine-crosslinkedprotein involved in intercellular signalling, and it has subtlesimilarity to the N-terminal Hedge domain of HEDGEHOG proteins; GRD-10is weakly required for normal molting; GRD-10 is also required fornormal growth to full size and locomotion; all of these requirements mayreflect common defects in cholesterol-dependent hedgehog-like signallingor in vesicle trafficking.
Enriched in several structures, including ABalppppaa; PLM; germ line; non-striated muscle; and somatic nervous system based on Chronogram; tiling array; RNA-seq; and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; daf-2; and skn-1 based on microarray; tiling array; RNA-seq; and proteomic studies. Is affected by nineteen chemicals including nicotinic acid; rotenone; and D-glucose based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domain: Ground-like domain.
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.
