rhr-2 encodes a predicted transmembrane protein with similarity to human Rh blood group antigens proposed to function in inorganic ion transport and metabolism; the role of RHR-2 in C. elegans development or behavior remains unclear, as loss of RHR-2 function via RNA-mediated interference does not result in any abnormalities.
Predicted to enable ammonium transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in ammonium homeostasis and ammonium transmembrane transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; head neurons; spermatheca; ventral nerve cord; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rh deficiency syndrome and overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis. Is an ortholog of human RHAG (Rh associated glycoprotein); RHBG (Rh family B glycoprotein); and RHCG (Rh family C glycoprotein).
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.
