Description

ags-3 encodes an ortholog of mammalian AGS3, a receptor independent activator of G protein signalling, and of Drosophila RAPSYNOID; AGS-3 proteins have four GoLoco motifs; AGS-3 is involved in polarity and spindle orientation during early embryogenesis; a region of AGS-3 encompassing three GoLoco motifs specifically binds GOA-1 in yeast two-hybrid assays; AGS-3 is expressed in all muscles, intestine, and weakly in some head and ventral nerve cord neurons, with subcellular localization in strong dots.
