Function
Involved in programmed cell death, also called apoptosis, in both somatic and germ cells (PubMed:11163239, PubMed:6857247, PubMed:1936965, PubMed:15744306, PubMed:16740477, PubMed:18351800, PubMed:26598553, PubMed:27650246). Acts by recruiting ced-6 to phagosomes which enables actin-dependent cytoskeletal reorganization and subsequent engulfment of the apoptotic cell corpse (PubMed:15744306). Has a role in the association of ppk-3 and rab-7 with the phagosomal surface which is necessary for the incorporation of lysosomes to phagosomes during phagosome maturation (PubMed:16740477, PubMed:18351800). Activates the expression of unfolded protein response genes, which are involved in the immune response to live bacteria (PubMed:18606143).
