Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00003018
Locus tag: CELE_T14F9.5
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00003018
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)

Summary: Enables protein heterodimerization activity; protein homodimerization activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gliogenesis; nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and neurogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including QL; QL.a; QR; oxygen sensory neurons; and ray precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness. Orthologous to human ATOH1 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Regulation of Gliogenesis by lin-32/Atoh1 in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Title: Regulation of Gliogenesis by lin-32/Atoh1 in Caenorhabditis elegans.
LIN-32 may promote different target gene expression in neuroblast development.
Title: A proneural gene controls C. elegans neuroblast asymmetric division and migration.
our results illustrate a mechanism whereby the regulated function of a proneural-class gene in a single neural lineage can both specify a neural precursor and actively pattern the fates of its progeny
Title: The Wnt/beta-catenin asymmetry pathway patterns the atonal ortholog lin-32 to diversify cell fate in a Caenorhabditis elegans sensory lineage.
