Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionwrt-6 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-6 is expressed in sheath and socketcells of anterior sensilla, seam cells, and hypodermis; the Hint/Hogdomain is predicted to cut WRT-6 into two halves and then covalentlylink cholesterol to the C-terminus of the Wart domain; the Wart domainis predicted to form a cysteine-crosslinked protein involved inintercellular signalling, and it has subtle similarity to the N-terminalHedge domain of HEDGEHOG proteins; WRT-6 is weakly required for normalmolting; WRT-6 is also required for normal growth to full size andlocomotion; all of these requirements may reflect common defects incholesterol-dependent hedgehog-like signalling or in vesicletrafficking.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003717

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in cell-cell signaling; protein autoprocessing; and system development. Predicted to be located in cell surface; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Expressed in anterior ganglion (ant); hypodermis; and neuronal sheath cell. 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

Reference (19)
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
