UNC-42

WormBase ID: WBGene00006778

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human PROP1 (PROP paired-like homeobox 1). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is involved in neuron fate specification and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Is expressed in hypodermis; nerve ring; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including WAGR syndrome; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and eye disease (multiple).
