Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionvav-1 encodes a Rho/Rac-family guanine nucleotide exchange factor orthologous to the Vav proto-oncogene; VAV-1 is a complex protein with several domains, from N- to C-terminus: a calponin-like actin-binding domain; a RhoGEF/DH domain; a pleckstrin-like domain; a SH2 motif domain; and an SH3 domain; in C. elegans vav-1 is an essential gene and functions to regulate the concentration of intracellular calcium and thus, plays a key role in regulating rhythmic behaviors such as pharyngeal pumping, ovulation, and defecation; in addition, vav-1 has been shown to be a target of the mir-61 miRNA in the secondary vulval precursor cells, where it functions to negatively regulate LIN-12 activity; VAV-1::GFP reporters are expressed in the pharynx, the contractile sheath cells of the gonad, the four posterior-most intestinal cells, and the three rectal epithelial cells; VAV-1::GFP is also seen in the distal gonad, body wall muscle, and in the vulval precursor cells and their descendants.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00012852

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway; positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and regulation of vulval development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including gonad; intestinal cell; neurons; pharyngeal cell; and tail hypodermis. Is an ortholog of human VAV1 (vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1); VAV2 (vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2); and VAV3 (vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (27)
RemarkMap 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.CGC_data_submission
