gene: dhs-28 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity. Involved in several processes, including ascaroside biosynthetic process; dauer entry; and positive regulation of developmental process. Located in peroxisome. Expressed in hypodermis. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in D-bifunctional protein deficiency; Perrault syndrome; and Stiff-Person syndrome. Is an ortholog of human HSD17B4 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 4).
