F46F3.1 Details Help
Description  ceh-27 encodes a homeodomain protein of the NK-2 class that contains Drosophila scarecrow and human NKX-2 (OMIM:606727); CEH-27 activity is essential for embryogenesis and appears to be required for maintaining hypodermal integrity during movement as embryos lacking CEH-27 burst at a breach in the ventral hypodermis upon commencement of muscle contractions; CEH-27 expression is first detected in the ~100-cell embryo in what appear to be MS-derived cells while in later embryos expression is seen in a number of cells in the anterior head region.
Homology Group (KOG)  Transcription factor tinman/NKX2-3, contains HOX domain
