gene: wrt-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable peptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in cell-cell signaling; protein autoprocessing; and system development. Predicted to be located in cell surface; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Expressed in anterior ganglion (ant); hypodermis; and neuronal sheath cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Hirschsprung's disease; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and glomerulonephritis (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SHH (sonic hedgehog signaling molecule).
