Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionwrt-4 encodes a hedgehog-like protein, with (from N- to C-terminus) asignal sequence, a Wart domain, an short region of low-complexitysequence, and a Hint/Hog domain; WRT-4 is expressed strongly inhypodermal syncytia hyp6-hyp10 from 3-fold embryos to adults; theHint/Hog domain is predicted to cut WRT-4 into two halves and thencovalently link cholesterol to the C-terminus of the Wart domain; theWart domain is predicted to form a cysteine-crosslinked protein involvedin intercellular signalling, and it has subtle similarity to theN-terminal Hedge domain of HEDGEHOG proteins; WRT-4 is weakly requiredfor normal molting; WRT-4 is also required for normal adult alaeformation, growth to full size, locomotion, and male tail development;all of these requirements may reflect common defects incholesterol-dependent hedgehog-like signalling or in vesicletrafficking.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003717

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable peptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within nematode male tail mating organ morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in cell surface; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Expressed in hyp10; hyp6; hyp7 syncytium; hyp8; and hyp9. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Hirschsprung's disease; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and glomerulonephritis (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SHH (sonic hedgehog signaling molecule).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

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.CGC_data_submission
