sma-2Dwarfin sma-2; Involved in TGF-beta pathway. Plays a role in male tail tip morphogenesis. (418 aa)
tbx-35Putative T-box protein 35. (325 aa)
sqv-8Galactosylgalactosylxylosylprotein 3-beta-glucuronosyltransferase sqv-8; Glycosyltransferase required for the biosynthesis of the tetrasaccharide (GlcA-Gal-Gal-Xyl-)Ser core linker of heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate. May be involved in the biosynthesis of the HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope on glycoproteins. Required for embryonic development. Involved in the elongation of the pharyngeal isthmus during the later stages of embryonic development. Involved in vulval epithelium invagination. (356 aa)
abu-14Activated in Blocked Unfolded protein response. (373 aa)
unc-52Basement membrane proteoglycan; Component of an integrin containing attachment complex, which is required for muscle development and maintenance. Probable structural role in myofilament assembly and/or attachment of the myofilament lattice to the cell membrane. May be an extracellular anchor for integrin receptors in body wall muscles and myoepithelial sheath cells. During the formation of neuromuscular junctions at the larval stage, negatively regulates membrane protrusion from body wall muscles, probably downstream of the integrin complex formed by pat-2 and pat-3. Involved in ovulation. (3375 aa)
