Located in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. Expressed in CAN; HSN; pharynx; sensory neurons; and vulva. Used to study Riley-Day syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Riley-Day syndrome; bone structure disease (multiple); and medulloblastoma. Is an ortholog of human ELP1 (elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 1).
