pis-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Involved in programmed cell death. Part of MLL3/4 complex. Is an ortholog of human PAXIP1 (PAX interacting protein 1).

pax-3

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in epidermal cell fate specification; gonad morphogenesis; and hemidesmosome assembly. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including AB lineage cell; E lineage cell; P9/10L; hypodermal cell; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma and congenital myopathy 19. Is an ortholog of human PAX7 (paired box 7).

vab-3

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including male anatomical structure morphogenesis; negative regulation of distal tip cell migration; and positive regulation of glial cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including distal tip cell; head muscle; hypodermis; neurons; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia; eye disease (multiple); and glucose intolerance. Is an ortholog of human PAX6 (paired box 6).

ceh-32

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in neuron differentiation and post-embryonic animal morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including anterior hypodermis; gonadal sheath cell; head ganglion; pharyngeal neurons; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including holoprosencephaly 2; optic disc anomalies with retinal and/or macular dystrophy; and renal Wilms' tumor. Is an ortholog of human SIX3 (SIX homeobox 3) and SIX6 (SIX homeobox 6).

lin-48

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in anatomical structure morphogenesis and response to salt stress. Located in nucleus. Expressed in ciliated neurons; interfacial epithelial cell; intestine; labial sensillum; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy 1. Is an ortholog of human OVOL1 (ovo like transcriptional repressor 1) and OVOL2 (ovo like zinc finger 2).
