CELE_F11H8.3, col8, F11H8.3

col-8 encodes a collagen, individually dispensable for viability and gross morphology, which is specifically expressed in dauers and adults but not in eggs or L4 larvae, like col-7, col-18, and col-19; the amino- and carboxyl-terminal cysteine-rich regions of COL-8 are most closely related to those of COL-19, COL-35, and COL-39.
