Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: SCP2 sterol-binding domain superfamily; short chain dehydrogenase; SCP-2 sterol transfer family; Short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase SDR; NAD(P)-binding domain superfamily; and SCP2 sterol-binding domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
dhs-28. In C. elegans,
dhs-28 is involved in several processes, including ascaroside biosynthetic process; dauer entry; and positive regulation of developmental process.
