UNC Homeobox Protein (UNCX)

The T-box transcription factor mab-9 has been shown to be required for the correct fate of the male-specific blast cells B and F, normal posterior hypodermal morphogenesis, and for the correct axon migration of motor neurons that project circumferential commissures to dorsal muscles. An RNAi screen designed to identify upstream transcriptional regulators of mab-9 showed that silencing of unc-4 increases mab-9
