[C.elegansII] e51 : paralysed, kinky, small, irregular pharyngeal pumping; able to lay eggs. Ric, high acetylcholine levels; variable neuroanatomical defects.ES3 ME0. OA>30: e450amb, e312amb (non-null),e309 (suppressed by sup-6), s69, s178 etc. All alleles similar to e51 or slightly weaker. Cloned: very large gene, encodes 1734 aa novel protein with contains phorbol ester (diacylglycerol) binding site. Antibodies detect 190 kD UNC-13.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-13 encodes at least five protein isoforms that regulate neurotransmitter release by altering the conformation of syntaxin; UNC-13 proteins are required for normal pharyngeal pumping and thrashing in liquid, normally short lifespan, normally large brood sizes, and full adult body sizes; UNC-13 proteins have orthologs in vertebrates and Drosophila; UNC-13 proteins are complex, with multiple C2, phorbol ester-binding, and DUF1041 domains; UNC-13 protein form is localized to most or all synapses; many of the unc-13 mutant alleles with viable phenotypes are transcript-specific, while homozygotes with an unc-13 null (deletion) allele die as paralyzed first-stage larvae.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004372

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable calmodulin binding activity and syntaxin-1 binding activity. Involved in regulation of multicellular organismal process; spermatogenesis; and synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Located in presynaptic active zone. Expressed in head neurons; neurons; tail neurons; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Is an ortholog of human UNC13C (unc-13 homolog C).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
