    Summary
    Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Involved in several processes, including detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch; positive regulation of detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of touch; and positive regulation of mechanosensory behavior. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including hypodermis; intestine; muscle cell; nervous system; and tail. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
