nas-25 encodes an astacin-like metalloprotease; large-scale expression studies reveal that a nas-25::GFP promoter fusion is expressed in the pharynx and pharyngeal-intestinal valve.
Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in molting cycle and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in arcade cell; marginal cell; and rectal gland cell.
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.
