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 pharyngeal muscle cell and pm7 based on tiling array and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-2; skn-1; and glp-1 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by seventeen chemicals including rotenone; Tunicamycin; and D-glucose based on RNA-seq and microarray studies.
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.
