Legacy_information[Zallen JA] ky123 recessive, homozygotes exhibit aberrant anterior position of nerve ring, many ring axons misrouted, ventral nerve cord neurons often misrouted, cross midline. Encodes three isoforms, longest 1273 aa with 5 Ig repeats, 3 FNIII repeats, TM domain, large cytoplasmic domain. ky123 deletes signal sequence and first exon, probable null.

Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsax-3 encodes, by alternative splicing, two isoforms of an ortholog of Drosophila ROUNDABOUT, ROBO3, and LEAK, and of human ROBO1, ROBO2 (OMIM:602431, mutated in vesicoureteral reflux), and ROBO3 (OMIM:608630, mutated in horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis); in larval hermaphrodites, SAX-3 is required to confine migrating sex myoblasts to the ventral muscle quadrants during their migration through the body and for multiple aspects of sensory, motor, and interneuron axon guidance.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003665

Automated_descriptionEnables axon guidance receptor activity. Involved in generation of neurons and regulation of sensory neuron axon guidance. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including QR.a; QR.p; body wall musculature; neuroblasts; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal recessive congenital nystagmus; hematologic cancer (multiple); and myositis (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ROBO1 (roundabout guidance receptor 1); ROBO2 (roundabout guidance receptor 2); and ROBO3 (roundabout guidance receptor 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
