skr-3 encodes a homolog of Skp1 in S. cerevisiae; skr-3 transcripts are upregulated in response to pathogenic bacteria, and skr-3(RNAi) results in enhanced susceptibility to infection.
Predicted to enable cullin family protein binding activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and innate immune response. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in intestine and pharynx. Is an ortholog of human SKP1 (S-phase kinase associated protein 1).
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.
