C05B5.4 encodes a predicted transmembrane protein that is conserved in C. briggsae and C. remanei; loss of C05B5.4 activity via RNAi in the sensitized rrf-3 background has been reported to result in slow growth, although this phenotype could not be confirmed by retesting.
Enriched in several structures, including ABalaaaarl; ABalaaaarr; ABalapaaaa; AVE; and interfacial epithelial cell based on tiling array and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-2; daf-12; and eat-2 based on microarray; tiling array; and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by fourteen chemicals including Alovudine; Zidovudine; and Psoralens based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domain: Uncharacterized protein C05B5.4-like.
