CEH-13

WormBase ID: WBGene00000437

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human HOXB1 (homeobox B1). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Is involved in cell-cell adhesion and embryo development. Localizes to cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including egg-laying apparatus; hypodermis; sensory neurons; somatic nervous system; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including Athabaskan brainstem dysgenesis syndrome; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and dysostosis (multiple).
