Predicted to enable phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase activity. Is expressed in hypodermis; intestine; nervous system; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Neu-Laxova syndrome 1; PHGDH deficiency; and amino acid metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human PHGDH (phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase).
WB Description
C31C9.2 is orthologous to the human gene PHOSPHOGLYCERATE DEHYDROGENASE (PHGDH; OMIM:606879), which when mutated leads to phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency.
