AceView summary
According to AceView, this gene is moderately expressed, only 30.4% of the average gene in this release, down regulated in dauer [SAGE, Jones et al, 2001]. The sequence of this gene is defined by 4 cDNA clones.
The gene contains 8 distinct gt-ag introns. Transcription produces one mRNA.
The spliced mRNA putatively encodes a good protein, containing tRNA isopentenyltransferase domain [Pfam].
Function: There are 8 articles specifically referring to this gene in PubMed. In addition we point below to 20 abstracts. This gene is associated to a phenotype (abnormal GROwth rate, maternal rescue, regulates metabolic activity, SLow growth, extends adult lifespan). Functionally, the gene has been proposed to participate in a process (tRNA processing). Proteins are expected to have molecular functions (ATP binding activity, tRNA isopentenyltransferase activity).
