dyc-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans A structural constituent of muscle. Involved in several processes, including muscle cell cellular homeostasis; regulation of egg-laying behavior; and sarcomere organization. Located in axon and striated muscle dense body. Part of dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex. Expressed in SDQL; SDQR; body wall musculature; head neurons; and vulval muscle. Used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 22. Is an ortholog of human NOS1AP (nitric oxide synthase 1 adaptor protein).
