Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionunc-62 encodes a Meis-class homeodomain protein required for posterior embryonic morphogenesis, male tail morphogenesis, commissure formation by VD and DD motor neurons, vulval morphogenesis, and normal locomotion; UNC-62 is orthologous to Drosophila HOMOTHORAX; both maternal-effect unc-62 alleles and the zygotic lethal unc-62(s472) allele phenotypically resemble mutations of the caudal ortholog pal-1; RNAi of the Pbc-class ceh-20 and ceh-40 homeodomain genes strongly enhances the hypomorphic unc-62(e644) allele to give either a strong loss-of-function or null-like phenotype, while overexpression of ceh-20 enhances the lethality of some unc-62 alleles.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00000031

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in cell fate specification; muscle cell differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within lipid homeostasis. Located in nucleus. Part of chromatin. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; neurons; reproductive system; ventral nerve cord; and vulval precursor cell. Used to study leukemia and restless legs syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cleft palate; cleft palate, cardiac defects, and intellectual disabillity; and open-angle glaucoma. Is an ortholog of human MEIS1 (Meis homeobox 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
