Gene Inhibited  F18G5.2 (pes-8)
Description of "F18G5.2"  pes-8 encodes a novel protein that contains a proline-rich region and a predicted transmembrane domain, but no otherwise recognizably conserved domains; pes-8 was identified in promoter trapping screens and based on large-scale RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) screens, appears to be required for egg laying, germline development, locomotion, and regulation of adult lifespan; a pes-8 reporter is expressed at the cell surfaces of the spermathecal valve cell, the uterine wall, the vulva, and the rectal epithelium; strong expression is also detected in the uterus during its development; PES-8 may be required for normal morphology of the openings of the spermathecal valve, the vulva, and the rectum, a hypothesis consistent with its expression pattern and RNAi phenotype.
