Ci-MA5

Gene product: muscle actin
Organism: C. intestinalis
Summary of experimentsCi-Tbx6b and Ci-Tbx6c bind to 5'-GWTCACACCT-3' in vitro.

Ci-Tbx6b is necessary for expression at the 110-cell stage and at the tailbud stage, Ci-Tbx6c is only necessary at the 110-cell stage (Yagi 2005)
Activity reported

Ci-Tbx6b regulates Ci-MA5 in muscle in C. intestinalis (1, 2)

Ci-Tbx6c regulates Ci-MA5 in muscle in C. intestinalis (1, 2)
