Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including anal depressor muscle; egg-laying apparatus; germ line; somatic nervous system; and tail ganglion. Orthologous to human NCOR1 (nuclear receptor corepressor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

What's a GeneRIF?

GEI-8, a homologue of vertebrate nuclear receptor corepressor NCoR/SMRT, regulates gonad development and neuronal functions in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Title: GEI-8, a homologue of vertebrate nuclear receptor corepressor NCoR/SMRT, regulates gonad development and neuronal functions in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Knockdown of gei-8, the sole C. elegans NCoR homolog, robustly increased muscle mitochondria and respiration, suggesting evolutionary conservation of NCoR1 function.
Title: NCoR1 is a conserved physiological modulator of muscle mass and oxidative function.
