Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in cellular localization; heterochromatin formation; and nucleus organization. Predicted to be located in nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including DES (desmin); GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein); and KRT7 (keratin 7).
