Transcription regulatory networks in Caenorhabditis elegans

Gene

Public Gene Name
otpl-8  
Sequence Name
H19J13.1  
WB ID
WBGene00010403  
Description
otpl-8 encodes an ortholog of otopetrins such as human OTOP1 (OMIM:607806), OTOP2 (OMIM:607827), and OTOP3 (OMIM:607828), along with other homologs in fish and insects (such as crustacean OTOPLb); otopetrins are predicted to have 12 transmembrane helices; by homology with OTOP1 and OTOPLb, OTPL-8 might regulate intracellular calcium fluxes during extracellular stimuli, promote extracellular calcium carbonate biomineralization, or both; OTPL-8's paralogs include OTPL-1 through OTPL-7; OTPL-8 has no function in mass RNAi assays.
