wrm-1 encodes one of four C. elegans beta-catenin-like proteins; during development, wrm-1 functions in noncanonical Wnt signaling pathways that specify cell fates in the early embryo, the somatic gonad, and postembryonic hypodermal lineages.
Enables several functions, including nuclear receptor binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Contributes to protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including axis specification; regulation of cell division; and regulation of developmental process. Located in cell cortex and nucleus. Part of serine/threonine protein kinase complex. Expressed in several structures, including E; Psub2; gonadal primordium; linker cell; and seam cell.

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.
