Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmec-9 encodes a predicted extracellular protein containing six EGF-like repeats,five Kunitz-type protease inhibitor domains, and a glutamic acid-rich region possibly involved in protein-protein interactions; mec-9 encodes two proteins, only one of which, MEC-9L, appears to be required for normal mechanosensory response to gentle touch and proper functioning of the touch receptor neurons; mec-9 interacts genetically with mec-5, which encodes a unique C. elegans collagen secreted by the hypodermis; MEC-9L is expressed and secreted by the touch receptor neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002379

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in positive regulation of multicellular organismal process and response to mechanical stimulus. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in PVDL; PVDR; head neurons; touch receptor neurons; and ventral cord neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
