amt-3 encodes one of four C. elegans homologs of AMT1 (AT11_ARATH), a high-affinity ammonium transporter from Arabidopsis thaliana; AMT-3 is closely similar to its paralog AMT-2, with somewhat more distant paralogy to AMT-1 and AMT-4.
Predicted to enable ammonium transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in ammonium homeostasis and ammonium transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in head and tail.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
