Enables calcium ion binding activity. Located in basement membrane and extracellular space. Expressed in body wall musculature; gonad; head; pharynx; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); osteogenesis imperfecta type 17; and progressive osseous heteroplasia. Is an ortholog of human SPARC (secreted protein acidic and cysteine rich).
Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity and serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in axon development; cell adhesion mediated by integrin; and muscle attachment. Located in M band; basement membrane; and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in basal lamina; coelomocyte; excretory canal; and pharynx. Is an ortholog of human SPON1 (spondin 1).
Involved in several processes, including body morphogenesis; inductive cell migration; and system development. Located in nucleus and plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including body muscle cell; gonad; hypodermis; interfacial epithelial cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cocaine dependence and essential tremor 5. Is an ortholog of human TENM2 (teneurin transmembrane protein 2) and TENM3 (teneurin transmembrane protein 3).
