Enriched in GABAergic neurons; anchor cell; pharynx; and touch receptor neurons based on microarray; RNA-seq; and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including
hyl-1;
atfs-1; and
etr-1 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by eighteen chemicals including 1-methylnicotinamide; nicotinic acid; and D-glucose based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: SXP/RAL-2 family protein Ani s 5-like, metal-binding domain; SXP/RAL-2 family protein Ani s 5-like, cation-binding domain; and SXP/RAL-2-related.
