Involved in pharynx development. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in grinder.
WB Description
abu-7 encodes a transmembrane protein with a predicted signal sequence, a glutamine/asparagine-rich domain and multiple cysteine-rich repeats (DUF139); abu-7 expression is induced by blockage of the unfolded-protein response in the endoplasmic reticulum, and ABU-7 may help protect the organism from damage by improperly folded nascent protein.
