R13A5.6 encodes a protein containing a predicted signal sequence followed by a transthyretin-like domain; the product of R13A5.6 belongs to a family of apparently nematode-specific proteins whose function is not yet known; an R13A5.6::GFP promoter fusion directs expression outside of the nervous system.
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.
