bed-3 encodes a protein that contains a BED-type zinc finger domain; loss of bed-3 activity in large-scale RNAi screens indicates that bed-3 is required for larval development.
Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in molting cycle; regulation of cell division; and vulval cell fate specification. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in M lineage cell; hypodermal cell; and vulval 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.
