PAG-3

WormBase ID: WBGene00003909

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human GFI1B (growth factor independent 1B transcriptional repressor). Exhibits transcription corepressor activity. Is involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; negative regulation of secretion by cell; and regulation of backward locomotion. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including P1.aap; P11.aaap; P12.aaap; neurons; and retrovesicular ganglion. Is used to study alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 22 with or without anosmia; hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 7 with or without anosmia; and platelet-type bleeding disorder 17.
