WB ID

WBGene00001248  

Description

elp-1 encodes a WD repeat-containing protein that is the sole C. elegans EMAP (echinoderm microtubule-associated protein) homolog; ELP-1 binds microtubules in vitro, but as loss of ELP-1 function via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) does not result in any abnormalities, the precise role of ELP-1 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known; ELP-1 is expressed in many tissues, including body wall muscle, male-specific sex muscles, the vulva, spermatheca, sensory neurons, and intestinal cells.
