sup-46, when mutated, suppresses the lethality of gna-2(qa705); however, the three suppressor alleles (qa707, qa708, qa709) require a gna-1(+) background for suppression, suggesting that uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) synthesis is indispensable for embryonic development, and that SUP-46 normally inhibits GNA-1 in tissues where GNA-2 is normally active.
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in germ cell and somatic cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal carcinoma and leiomyoma. Is an ortholog of human HNRNPM (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M) and MYEF2 (myelin expression factor 2).
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.
