Summary: Predicted to enable cell-cell adhesion mediator activity. Predicted to be involved in axon guidance; dendrite self-avoidance; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in axon and plasma membrane. Is expressed in ASI; body wall musculature; nerve ring neurons; and vulva. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Double mutant analysis shows that zig-3 and zig-4 act together to affect axon maintenance, yet they are not functionally interchangeable.
