tj

Drosophila melanogaster

traffic jam (tj) encodes a Maf transcription factor that functions as regulator of multiple gonad morphogenesis processes including collective cell migration during oogenesis and stem cell specification downstream of Notch signaling during spermatogenesis.

gex-2

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic body morphogenesis; positive regulation of clathrin-dependent endocytosis; and positive regulation of egg-laying behavior. Located in cell junction. Part of SCAR complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Schaaf-Yang syndrome; autism spectrum disorder; and epilepsy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CYFIP1 (cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 1) and CYFIP2 (cytoplasmic FMR1 interacting protein 2).

Magel2

Rattus norvegicus

Predicted to enable ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; protein K63-linked ubiquitination; and retrograde transport, endosome to Golgi. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of actin nucleation. Predicted to be located in endosome. Predicted to be part of retromer complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Schaaf-Yang syndrome. Orthologous to human MAGEL2 (MAGE family member L2); INTERACTS WITH 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 6-propyl-2-thiouracil; bisphenol A.
