gene: klo-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable beta-glucosidase activity. Predicted to be involved in carbohydrate metabolic process. Expressed in excretory canal; excretory cell; and intestine. Used to study kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including end stage renal disease; intracranial embolism; and spondylosis. Is an ortholog of human GBA3 (glucosylceramidase beta 3 (gene/pseudogene)) and LCTL (lactase like).
