- Description
- cbd-1 encodes a large (1319-residue) protein with 12 chitin-binding peritrophin-A domains; cbd-1(RNAi) animals have an osmotically-sensitive embryonic lethal phenotype, perhaps because of defects in chitin and eggshell synthesis; like CEJ-1 and CPG-2, CBD-1 may participate in eggshell synthesis and early embryonic development; CBD-1's multiple peritrophin-A domains might enable mechanical cross-linking of chitin.
