MOM-1
CELE_T07H6.2, bop-1, T07H6.2
mom-1 encodes a putative O-acyltransferase orthologous to Drosophila PORCUPINE and human PORCN (OMIM:300651, mutated in focal dermal hypoplasia); MOM-1 functions as part of a Wnt/MAPK signaling pathway required maternally for endoderm induction in the early embryo; by orthology, MOM-1 is predicted to be a membrane-spanning endoplasmic reticulum protein that stimulates post-translational processing of Wnt signaling molecules such as MOM-2; embryonic mosaic analysis indicates that MOM-1 activity is required in the signaling cell, P2, for proper specification of endoderm, consistent with its predicted role in processing MOM-2/Wnt.
