[C.elegansII] NMK. Encodes polyubiquitin.ubq-1:lacZ expressed in all cells of embryo, L1; later mainly in muscle cells. [Graham et al. 1989; Stringham et al. 1992; PC]
Predicted to enable protein tag activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in programmed cell death involved in cell development and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in body wall musculature. Is an ortholog of human UBC (ubiquitin C).
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.
