W03C9.7 Details Help
Description  The mex-1 gene encodes a CCCH-type zinc-finger protein that is required maternally for segregation of P granules, germ cell formation, and somatic cell differentiation in the early embryo; mex-1 is expressed cytoplasmically in germ line blastomeres and is required for restricting PIE-1 expression and function to these cells; mex-1 RNA is also found transiently in association with P granules.
Homology Group (KOG)  CCCH-type Zn-finger protein
