UNC-130

WormBase ID: WBGene00006853

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human FOXD4 (forkhead box D4). Exhibits RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Is involved in several processes, including axon extension involved in axon guidance; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including HO neuron; hypodermis; ray; tail; and ventral body wall muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in cataract 34 multiple types; congenital aphakia; and persistent fetal circulation syndrome.
