EGL-21
CELE_F01D4.4, F01D4.4
egl-21 encodes a putative carboxypeptidase (whose homologs include human enkephalin convertase/carboxypeptidase E); EGL-21 is expressed throughout the nervous system; EGL-21 is required for normal synthesis of FMRFamide-like (FLP) and neuropeptide-like (NLP) peptides, and for normal egg-laying, locomotion, and defecation; EGL-21 promotes acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions; egl-21 mutant defects resemble those seen for mutants of the proprotein convertase type 2 EGL-3.
