ifb-1 | Intermediate filament protein ifb-1; Cytoplasmic intermediate filaments provide mechanical strength to cells. Essential protein, involved in attachment structures in epidermal cells that connect muscles to the external cuticle. Required in morphogenesis and epidermal integrity. Probable component of embryonic epidermal attachment structures. Functions in larval muscle attachment independently of ifa-2. (589 aa) | ||||
ifa-3 | Intermediate filament protein ifa-3; Cytoplasmic intermediate filaments provide mechanical strength to cells. Essential protein, involved in attachment structures in epidermal cells that connect muscles to the external cuticle. Required for epidermal morphogenesis in embryos. Probable component of embryonic epidermal attachment structures. (581 aa) | ||||
mua-6 | Intermediate filament protein ifa-2; Cytoplasmic intermediate filaments provide mechanical strength to cells. Essential protein, involved in attachment structures in epidermal cells that connect muscles to the external cuticle. Probably acts by forming hypodermal hemidesmosome complexes that help mediate muscle-cuticle force transduction. Although expressed during embryogenesis, it is not required for embryonic development of muscle- cuticle linkages nor for the localization of other proteins to the hemidesmosomes in embryos. (581 aa) |
