Highlights of Predicted Function (edited from UniProt)

111834716

Kv channel-interacting protein 4

LOC111834716

Cation homeostasis

short EODs

Regulatory subunit of Kv4/D (Shal)-type voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. Regulates channel density, inactivation kinetics and rate of recovery from inactivation in a calcium-dependent and isoform-specific manner

111836747

potassium channel subfamily K member 5-like

LOC111836747

Cation homeostasis

short EODs

pH-dependent, voltage insensitive, outwardly rectifying potassium channel. Outward rectification is lost at high external K+ concentrations

111857989

chloride intracellular channel protein 5-like

LOC111857989

Cation homeostasis

short EODs

Can insert into membranes and form poorly selective ion channels that may also transport chloride ions. May play a role in the regulation of transepithelial ion absorption and secretion

111833088

myosin-7-like

LOC111833088

Cytoskeletal & sarcomeric

long EODs

Myosins are actin-based motor molecules with ATPase activity essential for muscle contraction

111856289

pleckstrin homology-like domain family B member 1

LOC111856289

Cytoskeletal & sarcomeric

long EODs

GO BP: regulation of microtubule cytoskeleton organization

111842483

parvalbumin-2

LOC111842483

Cytoskeletal & sarcomeric

short EODs

In muscle, parvalbumin is thought to be involved in relaxation after contraction. It binds two calcium ions

111846153

troponin I, slow skeletal muscle-like

LOC111846153

Cytoskeletal & sarcomeric

short EODs

Inhibitory subunit of troponin, the thin filament regulatory complex which confers calcium-sensitivity to striated muscle actomyosin ATPase activity

111851695

keratin, type II cytoskeletal 8-like

LOC111851695

Cytoskeletal & sarcomeric

short EODs

Together with KRT19, helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of striated muscle

111856036

parvalbumin-2-like

LOC111856036

Cytoskeletal & sarcomeric

short EODs

In muscle, parvalbumin is thought to be involved in relaxation after contraction. It binds two calcium ions

111860236

tropomyosin alpha-1 chain-like

LOC111860236

Cytoskeletal & sarcomeric

short EODs

Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells. Plays a central role, in association with the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated muscle contraction. In non-muscle cells is implicated in stabilizing cytoskeleton actin filaments.

111845490

matrilin 2

matn2

Extracellular matrix

long EODs

Involved in matrix assembly

111860169

thrombospondin-4-like

LOC111860169

Extracellular matrix

long EODs

Adhesive glycoprotein that mediates cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions and is involved in various processes including cellular proliferation, migration, adhesion and attachment

111860877

collagenase 3-like

LOC111860877

Extracellular matrix

short EODs

Plays a role in the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins

111834720

protein EFR3 homolog B-like

LOC111834720

Lipid metabolism

short EODs

Component of a complex required to localize phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase (PI4K) to the plasma membrane. The complex acts as a regulator of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) synthesis

111840357

PTB domain-containing engulfment adapter protein 1-like

LOC111840357

Lipid metabolism

short EODs

Modulates cellular glycosphingolipid and cholesterol transport

111846286

retinoic acid receptor responder protein 3-like

LOC111846286

short EODs

Catalyzes the calcium-independent hydrolysis of acyl groups in various phosphatidylcholines (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)

111847640

phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit gamma-like

LOC111847640

Lipid metabolism

short EODs

Binds to activated (phosphorylated) protein-tyrosine kinases through its SH2 domain and regulates their kinase activity

111852373

proto-oncogene c-Fos-like

LOC111852373

Lipid metabolism

short EODs

In growing cells, activates phospholipid synthesis, possibly by activating CDS1 and PI4K2A
