- WB ID
- WBGene00001992
- Description
- hot-7 encodes a predicted membrane-associated protein that is a member of the Ly-6 superfamily of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked signaling proteins and is homologous to ODR-2, a neuronally expressed protein required for olfaction; as loss of hot-7 activity via RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) does not result in any abnormalities, the precise role of HOT-7 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known.
