Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Is an ortholog of human CLEC18A (C-type lectin domain family 18 member A); CLEC18B (C-type lectin domain family 18 member B); and CLEC18C (C-type lectin domain family 18 member C).
Involved in maintenance of dauer; negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of dauer entry. Expressed in several structures, including coelomocyte; gonad; head muscle; nerve ring; and neurons.
Expressed in head and tail. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Kelch-type beta propeller; BTB And C-terminal Kelch; Kelch motif; SKP1/BTB/POZ domain superfamily; Kelch repeat type 1; BTB-kelch protein; BTB/POZ domain; and BTB/Kelch-associated. Is an ortholog of human KLHL18 (kelch like family member 18).
Predicted to enable CoA-ligase activity. Involved in detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch and mechanosensory behavior. Located in neuron projection and neuronal cell body. Expressed in PLML; PLMR; and touch receptor neurons.
