The Caenorhabditis elegans unc-93 gene encodes a putative transmembrane protein that regulates muscle contraction.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Apr 1992

Levin J Z, Horvitz H R

Abstract excerpt

unc-93 is one of a set of five interacting genes involved in the regulation or coordination of muscle contraction in Caenorhabditis elegans. Rare altered-function alleles of unc-93 result in sluggish movement and a characteristic "rubber band" uncoordinated phenotype. By contrast, null alleles cause no visibly abnormal phenotype, presumably as a consequence of the functional redundancy of unc-93. To understand...
