pqm-1 encodes a C2H2-type zinc finger and leucine zipper-containing protein that is upregulated in response to oxidative stress induced by paraquat treatment; PQM-1 may function as a stress-responsive transcription factor.
Predicted to enable chromatin insulator sequence binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and regulation of vitellogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in head muscle; head neurons; intestinal cell; neurons; and pseudocoelom.
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.
