sqst-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in aggrephagy; endosome organization; and mitophagy. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including head; hypodermal cell; muscle cell; tail; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Paget's disease of bone 3; distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SQSTM1 (sequestosome 1).
