Ppa-sem-4 encodes a zinc-finger protein; Ppa-sem-4 activity is required for proper development of cells in neuronal, mesodermal, and vulval cell lineages, with functions in vulval precursor cell specification that are similar to Cel-sem-4.
Organism
Pristionchus pacificus
Automated Description
Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domain: Ferlin family. Is an ortholog of C. elegans egl-43 and sem-4. In C. elegans, egl-43 is involved in several processes, including regulation of developmental process; regulation of mitotic cell cycle; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.
