nas-12 encodes an astacin-like metalloprotease; large-scale expression studies reveal that a nas-12::GFP promoter fusion is expressed in the intestine and in the pharyngeal and rectal gland cells.
Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in proteolysis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in g1AL; g1AR; g1P; g2L; and g2R.
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.
