The protein product of this gene is predicted to contain a glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich ('prion') domain, by the algorithm of Michelitsch and Weissman (as of the WS77 release of WormBase, i.e., in wormpep77).
Enriched in ABalppppppa; ABpraaapppa; and body wall muscle cell based on tiling array and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including skn-1; sir-2.1; and lin-39 based on microarray; RNA-seq; and proteomic studies. Is affected by eleven chemicals including rotenone; D-glucose; and metformin based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: HPC2 and ubinuclein domain and Hpc2-related domain.
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.
