ifp-1 encodes a nonessential intermediate filament protein; IFP-1 is predicted to function as a structural component of the cytoskeleton; IFP-1 has no obvious function in RNAi assays.
Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in cellular localization; heterochromatin formation; and nucleus organization. Predicted to be located in nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina. Expressed in head; head neurons; intestine; pharynx; and ventral nerve cord.

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.
