Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Ankyrin repeats (many copies); Sterile alpha motif domain; Sterile alpha motif/pointed domain superfamily; Ankyrin repeat; Ankyrin repeat-containing domain superfamily; and SAM domain (Sterile alpha motif). Is an ortholog of C. elegans
mlt-3. In C. elegans,
mlt-3 is involved in ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle.
