[C.elegansII] e130 : medium dumpy (non-roller) Suppresses some alleles of glp-1, emb-5.ES3. ME1. OA>10: e1281ts, sc24ts (left roller dumpy), sc44, e2279, q287 (weak?), etc. [Brenner 1971; Maine and Kimble 1989]
dpy-8 encodes a collagen with a nematode-specific N-terminal domain that is required for normal body morphology and (perhaps) for a normal embryonic cell division rate; dpy-8 interacts genetically with emb-5 and glp-1.
Predicted to be a structural constituent of cuticle. Involved in cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of collagen trimer. Used to study skin disease.
