Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heterochromatin formation; nucleus organization; and protein localization to nuclear envelope. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and intermediate filament. Predicted to be active in nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina. Is expressed in head; intestine; pharynx; and ventral nerve cord.
WB Description
ifp-1 encodes a nonessential intermediate filament protein; IFP-1 is predicted to function as a structural component of the cytoskeleton; IFP-1 has no obvious function in RNAi assays.
