Gene Inhibited |
C52B9.7 (paf-2) |
Description of "C52B9.7" |
paf-2 encodes a homolog of vertebrate Type II Platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) that is 70% identical to PAF-2 that is required for embryogenesis and affects organization of the hypodermis. |

Remark |
Most embryos that were arrested during embryogenesis had a very lumpy morphology or were ruptured, with internal cells oozing through the holes in the epidermis. In some embryos, no MH27 staining was seen in the anterior part of the embryo, whereas the posterior part was enclosed by epidermal cells and elongated partially, which is indicative of anterior rupture during enclosure. Hatched but arrested paf-2 RNAi animals also exhibited morphology defects, including ectopic protuberances and a kinked tail. |
