Dpy-19/Dpy-19-like

Definition

This entry represents the Dpy-19 protein from Caenorhabditis elegans and its homologues in other Metazoa, including mammals. In C. elegans, Dpy-19 is required to orient neuroblasts QL and QR correctly on the anterior/posterior (A/P) axis. These neuroblasts are born in the same A/P position, but polarise and migrate left/right asymmetrically, where QL migrates toward the posterior and QR migrates toward the anterior. After their migrations, QL (but not QR) switches on the Hox gene mab-5. Dpy-19 is required along with Unc-40 to express Mab-5 correctly in the Q cell descendants PMID:11023868.
