Enriched in several structures, including anterior ganglion (post); dorso-rectal ganglion; head mesodermal cell; neurons; and
pm8 based on tiling array; RNA-seq; single-cell RNA-seq; and microarray studies. Is affected by several genes including
cyc-1;
qui-1; and
cua-1 based on microarray; RNA-seq; and proteomic studies. Is affected by eleven chemicals including stavudine; Zidovudine; and allantoin based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: PTB/PI domain; SAM domain (Sterile alpha motif); PH-like domain superfamily; Ankyrin repeats (3 copies); Ankyrin repeat; Ankyrin repeat-containing domain superfamily; Ankyrin repeat and SAM domain-containing protein 1/Caskin; Phosphotyrosine interaction domain (PTB/PID); Phosphorylation site; Sterile alpha motif/pointed domain superfamily; and Sterile alpha motif domain. Is an ortholog of human ANKS1A (ankyrin repeat and sterile alpha motif domain containing 1A) and ANKS1B (ankyrin repeat and sterile alpha motif domain containing 1B). Human Anks1b enables ephrin receptor binding activity.
