Gene

Public Gene Name

egl-46  

Sequence Name

K11G9.4  

WB ID

WBGene00001210  

Description

egl-46 encodes a predicted transcription factor and conserved member of a TFIIA-like zinc finger protein family that affects coordinated locomotion, morphology and process formation of the touch cells, male mating efficiency, HSN cell migration, differentiation, and axonal outgrowth, serotonin production and also affects terminal divisions of the Q neuroblasts; acts to inhibit touch cell fate in FLP cells together with egl-44 and is expressed dynamically in neurons, specifically in touch cells, FLP, and HSN neurons.
