- WB ID
- WBGene00004739
- Description
- scd-1 encodes a novel protein with several regions that are extremely glutamine (Q) rich, interspersed with other residues (usually alanine); SCD-1 affects signalling by proteins in the DAF-7/transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta pathway (DAF-1, DAF-8, and DAF-14), and the Q-rich regions of SCD-1 protein may mediate epigenetic changes of stably heritable tertiary conformation.
