OA>15: sy15(rod-like early larval lethal, probable null), sy5 (similar tosy15, W1078op), mn224 (earlylarval lethal, non-null), n1045 (homozygousviable, Vul at 15C, weak Muv (hyperinduced) at25C; P12 transformed to P11 fate), sy1 (viable, Vul, Q1318och), sy97 (viable,Vul, ME0, abnormal spicules), sy10 (impenetrant larval lethal, survivors sterile, Emo, abnormal oocytes), etc.Alleles affect subset or all of 5 phenotypes (L1 viability, vulval induction, male spicules,oogenesis, P12).

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlet-23 encodes an EGF-receptor-family transmembrane tyrosine kinase that affects viability, inductive signaling during development of the vulva, male spicule formation, posterior development of the epidermis, ovulation and stress induced sleep; let-23 is genetically upstream of the let-60/RAS pathway with respect to viability and vulval development, is upstream of phosopholipase C gamma with respect to fertility and sleep, and is expressed in vulval precursor cells and the ALA neuron.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00045813

Automated_descriptionEnables epidermal growth factor receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of vulval development; and reproductive structure development. Located in cell-cell junction and plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including apoptotic cell; egg-laying apparatus; excretory duct cell; head; and vulval precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); hypertension (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and ERBB4 (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
