WBGene00005152 | Gene Name | srf-2 |
| Brief Description | srf-2 was identified as a mutation that alters the surface antigenicity of the cuticle in C. elegans; srf-2 mutations show altered binding to antibodies raised against the cuticles of wild-type worms, and lectins like wheat germ agglutinin; srf-2 mutants are resistant to infection by the nematode-specific pathogen, Microbacterium nematophilum, and do not show the tail-swelling response to infection; srf-2 mutants also show an altered response to nematophagous fungi, in the form of increased susceptibility. | Organism | Caenorhabditis elegans |
| Automated Description | Expressed in seam cell. Used to study bacterial infectious disease. | Genetic Position | I :5.23624 ±0.183128 |
