Protein: Homeobox protein ceh-43 (Q18273)
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
Function: Probable transcription factor. Binds to the sequence motif 5'-ATAAT-3' in regulatory elements. Required for development of the anterior hypodermis during embryonic morphogenesis for cell adhesion; also affects embryonic and larval viability. Modulates and maintains dopaminergic neuron differentiation. May activate dopamine pathway genes in concert with ETS domain-containing protein ast-1, and homeobox proteins ceh-40 and ceh-20.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00108}.
