Transcription regulatory networks in Caenorhabditis elegans
Gene
- Public Gene Name
-
lin-9
- Sequence Name
- ZK637.7
- WB ID
- WBGene00002998
- Description
-
lin-9 encodes two novel proteins that are conserved amongst C. elegans, Drosophila, plants, and vertebrates; lin-9 activity is required redundantly with activity of the synMuv A genes, such as lin-8, for negative regulation of the RTK/Ras-mediated signal transduction pathway that controls vulval development; in addition, lin-9 activity is required non-redundantly for hermaphrodite gonadal sheath cell development (and thus, reproduction), as well as for development of the male reproductive system including the male sensory rays and spicules.
