Enriched in several structures, including ABalppappa; ABarappppa; ABplpppaaa; amphid sheath cell; and nerve ring neurons based on RNA-seq; single-cell RNA-seq; and microarray studies. Is affected by several genes including swsn-2.2; etr-1; and prg-1 based on microarray; RNA-seq; and proteomic studies. Is affected by fourteen chemicals including methylmercuric chloride; rotenone; and Psoralens based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: SXP/RAL-2 family protein Ani s 5-like, metal-binding domain; SXP/RAL-2 family protein Ani s 5-like, cation-binding domain; and SXP/RAL-2-related.
