nhr-43 is predicted to encode a nuclear hormone receptor (NHR); the primary sequence of nhr-43 reveals that it has a leucine instead of a methionine that is conserved within the NHR superfamily at the carboxyl boundary of the DNA-binding domain.
Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in dorsal nerve cord; excretory cell; head neurons; hypodermis; and intestine.
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.
