egl-15 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; muscle cell cellular homeostasis; and nematode larval development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Expressed in head neurons; hypodermis; intestine; male sex myoblast; and vulval muscle. Used to study bone disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; bone disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human FGFR2 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 2).
