Description of "C24A11.8" |
frm-4 encodes a predicted transmembrane protein that contains an N-terminal FERM (Band 4.1-ezrin-radixin-moesin) domain; by homology, FRM-4 is predicted to function as a membrane-cytoskeleton linker protein that plays a role in cell adhesion, migration, or organization of cell surface structures; however, as loss of frm-4 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of FRM-4 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known. |
