Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: AMP-dependent synthetase/ligase; AMP-binding enzyme; AMP-binding enzyme, C-terminal domain; AMP-binding enzyme C-terminal domain; AMP-binding enzyme, C-terminal domain superfamily; and ANL, N-terminal domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
mec-18. In C. elegans,
mec-18 is involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch and mechanosensory behavior.
