Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptiondex-1 encodes a single-pass transmembrane protein with a domain similar to zonaadhesion, a sperm protein that binds the ZP matrix, dex-1 is also predicted to include two domains similar to nidogens, a family of proteins found in especially neural basement membrane; dex-1 share a domain composition with alpha and beta; tectorin, two vertebrate inner ear protein found in matrix that anchors the sensory endings of hair cells and is required for hearing; dex-1 genetically interacts with dyf-7 suggesting a similarity in function between DEX-1, DYF-7 and a-tectorin; dex-1 and dyf-7 activities are necessary and sufficient at the time of dendrite extension; dex-1 phenotype is specific to lengths of the dendrites and sheath glial process; dex-1 and dyf-7 mutations cause defects at 2 steps, first in establishing proper dendrite length during embryonic development and second in scaling dendrite length to keep pace with larval growth; dex-1 an dyf-7 is required for setting the absolute length of the dendritic-glial bundle and in mutants all 12 dendrites and the sheath glial process fail to extend to the tip of the nose; DEX-1 and DYF-7 are secreted for dendrite anchoring; dex-1 promoter is expressed in many non-neuronal adjacent cells, including hypodermal cells, seen as a row lateral to the amphid neuron bundle and, in separate group, surrounding the sensory depression at the anterior pole of the embryo, also drive expression in the excretory cell; DEX-1-mcherry localizes in spots and patches restricted to head and tail where sensory organs are forming; occasionally colocalizes with DYF-7-GFP at dendritic tips.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00033050

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in amphid sensory organ dendrite retrograde extension. Located in dendrite membrane. Expressed in several structures, including anterior deirid sensillum; excretory system; pharynx; rectum; and socket cell.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (16)
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
