Gene Review:
sem-4 - Protein SEM-4
Caenorhabditis elegans
- The Caenorhabditis elegans gene sem-4 controls neuronal and mesodermal cell development and encodes a zinc finger protein. Basson, M., Horvitz, H.R. Genes Dev. (1996)
- The Caenorhabditis elegans spalt-like gene sem-4 restricts touch cell fate by repressing the selector Hox gene egl-5 and the effector gene mec-3. Toker, A.S., Teng, Y., Ferreira, H.B., Emmons, S.W., Chalfie, M. Development (2003)
- sem-4/spalt and egl-17/FGF have a conserved role in sex myoblast specification and migration in P. pacificus and C. elegans. Photos, A., Gutierrez, A., Sommer, R.J. Dev. Biol. (2006)
- sem-4 promotes vulval cell-fate determination in Caenorhabditis elegans through regulation of lin-39 Hox. Grant, K., Hanna-Rose, W., Han, M. Dev. Biol. (2000)
- Protruding vulva mutants identify novel loci and Wnt signaling factors that function during Caenorhabditis elegans vulva development. Eisenmann, D.M., Kim, S.K. Genetics (2000)
