CEH-6

WormBase ID: WBGene00000431

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human POU3F4 (POU class 3 homeobox 4). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Is involved in excretion; transdifferentiation; and water homeostasis. Localizes to cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in body wall musculature; head neurons; hyp7 syncytium; intestine; and tail neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 15; hypopituitarism; and sensorineural hearing loss.

Reporter verification: Poor sequencing result, verified by comparing expression pattern to the literature (Burglin and Ruvkun, 2001)
Primers used to verify fosmid reporter: 5'-AGGGTGAAGAATGAGGCAAGT-3'
