Automated Description
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; generation of neurons; and mesodermal cell migration. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including M cell; coelomocyte; neuroblasts; neurons; and somatic gonad precursor. Used to study branchiootorenal syndrome and myotonic dystrophy type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in branchiootorenal syndrome 2. Orthologous to human SIX4 (SIX homeobox 4) and SIX5 (SIX homeobox 5).
WB Description
unc-39 encodes a homeodomain transcription factor that belongs to the Six4/5 family of homeodomain proteins that includes human Six5; UNC-39 is required for axonal pathfinding in anterior-derived neurons and for specification of most mesodermal cell types and may regulate a developmental decision between migration and differentiation; UNC-39 is expressed in the embryo in anterior neurons, posteriorly derived mesoderm (somatic gonad, M mesoblast, and possibly the coelomocytes and muIntR), the CAN neurons, and body wall muscle.
