gene: arx-7 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Involved in Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; epithelial cell migration; and morphogenesis of embryonic epithelium. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in anchor cell; hypodermis; and linker cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung squamous cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human ARPC5 (actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 5) and ARPC5L (actin related protein 2/3 complex subunit 5 like).
