gene: smg-4 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Involved in male genitalia development; nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay; and obsolete hermaphrodite genitalia development. Located in nucleus and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Expressed in intestinal cell; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 14. Is an ortholog of human UPF3A (UPF3A regulator of nonsense mediated mRNA decay) and UPF3B (UPF3B regulator of nonsense mediated mRNA decay).
