cas
Name
castor
Synonyms
  • Cas
  • CAS
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; nervous system development; and regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; central nervous system; glial cell; larval neurons; and somatic stem cell. Orthologous to human CASZ1 (castor zinc finger 1).
FB Description
castor (cas) encodes a transcription factor expressed in the latest stage of embryonic neuroblast lineages. It represses the prior redundant genes, pdm2 nub, and precedes the expression of grh.
