Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionptc-1 encodes an ortholog of Drosophila PATCHED (PTC) and human PTCH which defines one of seven paralogous families of sterol sensing domain (SSD) proteins; PTC-1 is required for cytokinesis in the germline, but not in somatic cells (the converse of PTR-2's function, and a role conserved in C. briggsae); PTC-1 is also required to isolate meiotic germline nuclei from one another so that their nuclear divisions are asynchronous; PTC-1 is (very weakly) required for normal molting; PTC-1 protein is found in the membranes of all germline cells except sperm; ptc-1 transcripts are present in germline, very early (2- and 4-cell) embryos, and in the germline precursor P4; ptc-1 null mutants have normal somatic tissues, but are sterile with multinucleate oocytes; murine PTCH is found in midbodies by mass tandem spectroscopy, indicating that PTC-1's function in cytokinesis may be conserved among metazoa; since PTC-1 has an SSD, PTC-1's core function may be to transport proteins, lipids, or sterols.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004103

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable hedgehog family protein binding activity; hedgehog receptor activity; and smoothened binding activity. Involved in molting cycle. Located in plasma membrane. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); colorectal adenoma; and holoprosencephaly 7. Is an ortholog of human PTCH1 (patched 1) and PTCH2 (patched 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Potential_model (18)
Disease_relevanceptc-1 is similar to Drosophila Patched and human PTCH1 and is a receptor for the sonic hedgehog protein, both proteins are involved in development; human PTCH1 is also a tumor suppressor gene; mutations in human PTCH1 have been implicated in somatic basal cell carcinomas, Basal cell nevus syndrome (also called Gorlin syndrome, which includes skeletal abnormalities and an increased risk of developing various cancerous and noncancerous tumors) and Holoprosencephaly-7 (abnormal brain development, affecting the head and face); microRNA expression profiling studies in an transgenic elegans model of Parkinson''s disease, where human alpha-synuclein (A53T) is expressed, show that elegans ptc-1/PTCH1 is overexpressed; elegans ptc-1 is also overexpressed in the small non-coding RNAs, mir-64/mir-65 knockout worms for which it is a candidate target; mir-64 and mir-65 are themselves co-underexpressed in the alpha-synuclein model, suggesting that these small microRNAs may have a role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson''s disease.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00035654

Reference (27)
RemarkMap 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.CGC_data_submission
