ins-6 encodes predicted type-beta insulin-like molecule that lacks a C peptide domain; expressed throughout development and in some neurons beginning in the two-fold elongated embryo.
Enables insulin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including insulin receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of dauer entry; and olfactory learning. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in several structures, including ciliated neurons; coelomocyte; head muscle; somatic nervous system; and tail.
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.
