gene: gon-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables metallopeptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi vesicle-mediated transport; muscle organ morphogenesis; and negative regulation of presynapse assembly. Predicted to be located in extracellular matrix. Expressed in amphid neurons; excretory cell; gonad; motor neurons; and muscle cell. Used to study obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in rheumatoid arthritis. Is an ortholog of human ADAMTS20 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 20) and ADAMTS9 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 9).
