Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlon-8 encodes a secreted protein, conserved among nematodes, thatinhibits body elongation during larval and early adult growth, probablyby limiting cell size rather than nuclear ploidy or cell number; LON-8is also required for normal ray morphology in the male tail, but not forsuperficially normal male mating, suggesting a role in cuticleretraction; LON-8 is strongly expressed in the hypodermal syncytia hyp4and hyp7, and appears to be secreted from them in vivo; in males, LON-8is also expressed in male tail hypodermal nuclei (V6.pppaa, T.aa, R6.p,T.apapa, R7.p, R8.p and R9.p); LON-8 has no obvious non-nematodehomologs; LON-8 activity is genetically independent of DBL-1/TGF-betasignalling; newly hatched lon-8(hu187) larvae are normal in length, butthen outgrow wild-type larvae at a rate similar to that of lon-1(e185)larvae until 96 hours post-hatching, after which lon-8(hu187) growth wasnormal; lon-8(hu187) mutants have normal levels of hypodermalendoreduplication and of seam cell fusion; lon-8(hu187) is suppressed bymutations of dpy-11 or dpy-18; conversely, lon-8(hu187) does notsuppress dbl-1(nk3) or sma-6(e1482), and lon-8 transcripts are notaffected by dbl-1(nk3) or sma-6(e1482) mutations.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00006395

Pseudo_map_position
ReferenceWBPaper00029198
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
