ALR-1

WormBase ID: WBGene00044330

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human ALX1 (ALX homeobox 1). Exhibits RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior hypodermis; neurons; pseudocoelom; socket cell; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including WAGR syndrome; diabetes mellitus (multiple); and eye disease (multiple).
