Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Sterile alpha motif domain; Domain of unknown function DUF3447; Sterile alpha motif/pointed domain superfamily; SAM domain (Sterile alpha motif); Ankyrin repeat-containing domain superfamily; and Ankyrin repeats (3 copies). Is an ortholog of C. elegans
mlt-3. In C. elegans,
mlt-3 is involved in ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle.
