- Description
- pqn-74 encodes a protein with two chitin-binding peritrophin-A domains, separated by a glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich ('prion') domain; like CEJ-1 and CPG-2, PQN-74 might participate in eggshell synthesis and early embryonic development, and PQN-74's peritrophin-A domains might enable mechanical cross-linking of chitin.
