cts-1 encodes a citrate synthase; by homology, CTS-1 is predicted to function in the citric acid cycle to catalyze the formation of citrate from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA; cts-1 is required for embryonic development.
Predicted to enable citrate (Si)-synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in carbohydrate metabolic process and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Located in mitochondrion. Expressed in anal depressor muscle and ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Is an ortholog of human CS (citrate synthase).
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.
