    Summary
    Involved in several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; germ cell development; and pharynx development. Located in membrane. Is expressed in intestine; muscle cell; neurons; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hidradenitis suppurativa. Orthologous to human PSENEN (presenilin enhancer, gamma-secretase subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
