srp-5 encodes an ovalbumin-like serpin (ov-serpin) member of the serine protease inhibitor superfamily; by homology, SRP-5 is predicted to function as a suicide substrate that inhibits the proteolytic activity of serine proteases; however, as loss of srp-5 function via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of SRP-5 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known.
Enriched in body wall muscle cell and hypodermis based on tiling array studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; daf-2; and dpy-10 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by Hydrolyzable Tannins; Humic Substances; and Sirolimus based on 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.
