zyx-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables DEAD/H-box RNA helicase binding activity. Involved in maintenance of synapse structure. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on smooth muscle contraction. Located in M band; nucleus; and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in muscle cell and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia. Is an ortholog of human LPP (LIM domain containing preferred translocation partner in lipoma) and TRIP6 (thyroid hormone receptor interactor 6).
