Enriched in anal depressor muscle; germ line; hermaphrodite distal tip cell; intestine; and male distal tip cell based on proteomic; Chronogram; and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including daf-12; hsf-1; and sir-2.1 based on microarray; RNA-seq; proteomic; and tiling array studies. Is affected by eight chemicals including silicon dioxide nanoparticle; paraquat; and Atrazine based on microarray and RNA-seq studies. Human SPATS2L enables RNA binding activity. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: SPATS2-like; Phosphorylation site; and UBA-like superfamily. Is an ortholog of human SPATS2L (spermatogenesis associated serine rich 2 like).
