CELE_F28F9.1, zfh-1, F28F9.1

zag-1 encodes a homeodomain protein of the ZFH class which consists of a homeodomain flanked by two clusters of C2H2-type zinc fingers and is related to transcriptional repressors encoded by Drosophila zfh-1 and the vertebrate ZEB genes; ZAG-1 is required for locomotion, for neuronal differentiation, and for proper axonal branching and fasciculation; from late embryogenesis through adult stages of development, ZAG-1 is expressed dynamically in head and tail neurons and in the intestinal and anal depressor muscles.
