[C.elegansII] e1417 : adult hermaphrodite vulvaless (penetrance 89%); HME2; adult male wildtype ME2. OA>10: n378 (resembles e1417)d,; n1059 (early larval lethal), n1058 (early larval lethal/sterile adult),s751 (pka let-94, late larval lethal, s751/Df early larval lethal), s1750 (homozygote and hemizygote mid larval lethal), etc. Cloned: encodes proteins with similarity to EGF family. Transgene overexpression leads to Muv(extra vulval differentiation). [Hill and Sternberg 1992; BC; MT; PS]

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlin-3 encodes a member of the EGF family of peptide growth factors that affects induction of vulval development, viability, ovulation, behavioral quiescence after stress, and male spicule development; it acts genetically upstream of its presumptive receptor let-23, and is expressed in multiple locations consistent with it acting as a localized ligand; for example, the anchor cell of the developing gonad, which induces vulval development.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000496

Automated_descriptionEnables receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of ovulation; positive regulation of vulval development; and reproductive process. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including excretory canal; germ line; hermaphrodite gonad; rectal epithelial cell; and vulF.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
