Abstract excerpt
C. elegans cdf-1 was identified in a genetic screen for regulators of Ras-mediated signaling. CDF-1 is a cation diffusion facilitator protein that is structurally and functionally similar to vertebrate ZnT-1. These proteins have an evolutionarily conserved function as positive regulators of the Ras pathway, and the Ras pathway has an evolutionarily conserved ability to respond to CDF proteins. CDF proteins...
