This gene encodes a protein containing an F-box, a motif predicted to mediate protein-protein interactions either with homologs of yeast Skp-1p or with other proteins; this gene's encoded protein also contains an FTH/DUF38 motif, which may also mediate protein-protein interaction.
Enriched in pharyngeal muscle cell based on tiling array studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-16; daf-12; and eat-2 based on RNA-seq; tiling array; and microarray studies. Is affected by nine chemicals including methylmercuric chloride; multi-walled carbon nanotube; and tert-Butylhydroperoxide based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: F-box-like domain superfamily; FTH domain; F-box domain; Domain of unknown function DUF38/FTH, Caenorhabditis species; and F-box A protein FB224.
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.
