Involved in several processes, including cell fate commitment; determination of adult lifespan; and establishment of localization in cell. Located in cell cortex and nucleus. Expressed in head neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); ovarian cancer; and urinary bladder cancer. Is an ortholog of human YWHAB (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein beta) and YWHAZ (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein zeta).
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in cytoplasmic sequestering of protein; dauer larval development; and negative regulation of protein import into nucleus. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including C; E; Psub3; gonad; and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); ovarian cancer; and urinary bladder cancer. Is an ortholog of human YWHAB (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein beta) and YWHAZ (tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein zeta).
Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in establishment of cell polarity and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in axoneme; ciliary base; and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Expressed in several structures, including excretory system; hermaphrodite gonad; pharyngeal muscle cell; tail hypodermis; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and uveal coloboma-cleft lip and palate-intellectual disability. Is an ortholog of human WWTR1 (WW domain containing transcription regulator 1) and YAP1 (Yes1 associated transcriptional regulator).
