Transcription regulatory networks in Caenorhabditis elegans

Gene

Public Gene Name

aat-4  

Sequence Name

T13A10.10  

WB ID

WBGene00000005  

Description

aat-4 encodes a predicted amino acid transporter catalytic subunit; unlike catalytic subunits in other organisms, however, AAT-4 does not contain the highly conserved cysteine residue known to facilitate covalent interaction with a glycoprotein subunit, suggesting that AAT-4 does not require this residue for heterodimer formation or, alternatively, does not require the glycoprotein subunit for function.
