gene: dab-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables clathrin heavy chain binding activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle; egg-laying behavior; and positive regulation of growth rate. Located in cell cortex; clathrin-coated pit; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Expressed in several structures, including P5.ppp; amphid sheath cell; anchor cell; oocyte; and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and spinocerebellar ataxia type 37. Is an ortholog of human DAB1 (DAB adaptor protein 1).
