[Chamberlin HM] Homozygous sy294 males have abnormal tails with U and B lineage defects. Hermaphrodites also have abnormal tails, and are frequently sterile.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionegl-38 encodes a paired domain-containing protein that is a member of the PAX2/5/8 family of transcription factors; egl-38 is an essential gene, required for embryonic and larval development; in addition, EGL-38 activity is also required for fate specification of four uterine cells and rectal epithelial cells in the hermaphrodite and male tail; in regulating hindgut development EGL-38 acts in a pathway with LIN-48, a zinc-finger transcription factor; EGL-38 regulates lin-48 expression in vivo and binds to the lin-48 promoter region in vitro.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002924

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including developmental process involved in reproduction; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and vulval development. Located in nucleus. Part of chromatin. Expressed in body wall musculature; egg-laying apparatus; head neurons; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism 2; focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7; and renal Wilms' tumor. Is an ortholog of human PAX2 (paired box 2); PAX5 (paired box 5); and PAX8 (paired box 8).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
