gene: atm-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; protein serine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in response to ionizing radiation. Part of chromatin. Used to study ataxia telangiectasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; breast cancer (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and lung carcinoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ATM (ATM serine/threonine kinase).
