The skr-5 gene encodes a homolog of Skp1 in S. cerevisiae that has no known function in vivo, since skr-5(RNAi) animals are at least superficially normal.
Predicted to enable cullin family protein binding activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in hypodermis; intestinal cell; and vulval muscle. 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.
