gene: sin-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Contributes to histone deacetylase activity. Involved in several processes, including cell fate specification; nematode male tail mating organ morphogenesis; and vulval development. Acts upstream of or within defense response to other organism and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of Sin3 complex. Expressed in CEP; inner labial neurons; ray structural cell; socket cell; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington's disease and chromosome 15q24 deletion syndrome. Is an ortholog of human SIN3A (SIN3 transcription regulator family member A) and SIN3B (SIN3 transcription regulator family member B).
