Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionIFA-1 encodes an essential intermediate filament protein that is coexpressed with the essential IF protein IFB-1; IFA-1 is required for survival past the L1 larva stage, and a normal intestine; IFA-1 forms heteropolymeric intermediate filaments in vitro with an equimolar mixture of IFB-1; IFA-1 is predicted to function as a structural component of the cytoskeleton, and is required for larval development and normal intestinal morphology; ifa-1 is expressed in amphid sensory neurons, in tail neurons and other unidentified neurons, some pharyngeal muscles, the pharyngeal-intestinal valve, the vulva, and the rectum.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00001981

Automated_descriptionPredicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in cellular localization; heterochromatin formation; and nucleus organization. Located in intermediate filament. Expressed in several structures, including egg-laying apparatus; excretory cell; neurons; pharyngeal-intestinal valve; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in partial lipodystrophy; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and progressive myoclonus epilepsy 9. Is an ortholog of human LMNB2 (lamin B2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (14)
RemarkMap 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
