xnp-1

Caenorhabditis elegans

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and catalytic activity, acting on a nucleic acid. Involved in several processes, including embryo development; gonad development; and vulval development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in germ line; hermaphrodite gonad; and vulval precursor cell. Used to study intellectual disability. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including X-linked mental retardation-hypotonic facies syndrome-1; alpha thalassemia-X-linked intellectual disability syndrome; and lung carcinoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ATRX (ATRX chromatin remodeler).
