Enriched in germ line and neurons based on tiling array; RNA-seq; and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including
hsf-1;
pgl-1; and
atfs-1 based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by four chemicals including Rifampin; allantoin; and silicon dioxide nanoparticle based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial adult myoclonic epilepsy 1. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Sterile alpha motif domain; Sterile alpha motif/pointed domain superfamily; and SAM domain (Sterile alpha motif). Is an ortholog of human SAMD10 (sterile alpha motif domain containing 10) and SAMD12 (sterile alpha motif domain containing 12).
