Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionttx-7 encodes, by alternative splicing, two isoforms of a myo-inositolmonophosphatase (IMPase) required for normal thermotaxis and chemotaxisto sodium, as well as for subcellular localization of SNB-1 and SNG-1 inRIA interneurons; one isoform ('ttx-7a') has much higher transgenicrescuing activity of ttx-7(nj40) than the other ('ttx-7b'), so ttx-7a isconsidered the major isoform in vivo; a rescuing translational fusion ofTTX-7 to EGFP is strongly expressed in coelomocytes and a few head andtail neurons, with weaker expression in motor neurons, intestine, andsomatic gonad; TTX-7::EGFP is cytoplasmic, and can rescue mutantphenotypes when transiently expressed in adults; TTX-7 proteins areorthologous to human IMPA1 (OMIM:602064) and IMPA2 (OMIM:605922),possible mediators of manic depressive psychosis; ttx-7 mutationsdisplay ahtermic and chemotactic phenotypes, partially suppress thethermophilic phenotype of tax-6 mutations, and cause mislocalization ofSNB-1 and SNG-1; while ttx-7 expression is required in RIA to rescuethermotaxis phenotypes, RIA in ttx-7 mutants is morphologically normal;ttx-7 mutant phenotypes can be rescued by exogenous inositol applied toadults; ttx-7 mutations can be phenocopied in wild-type worms by lithiumtreatment of adults, and this phenocopy can be suppressed byoverexpression of a ttx-7 transgene, or by exogenous inositol orsorbitol; ttx-7 mutant development is delayed by exogenous galactose,implying a link between TTX-7/IMPase and galactose metabolism.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00028886

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable inositol monophosphate 1-phosphatase activity and metal ion binding activity. Involved in chemotaxis; protein localization to synapse; and thermotaxis. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including coelomocyte; gonad; intestine; neurons; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 59; bipolar disorder; and schizophrenia. Is an ortholog of human IMPA1 (inositol monophosphatase 1) and IMPA2 (inositol monophosphatase 2).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
