Function
Probable sorting receptor which regulates endocytosis and secretion of the wnt ligand egl-20 (PubMed:18160346, PubMed:18160347, PubMed:21076391). Recycling of mig-14 from the plasma membrane to the Golgi apparatus by the retromer complex is essential for its function (PubMed:18160346, PubMed:18160347, PubMed:21076391). Its endosomal trafficking is regulated by its association with sorting nexin snx-3 on early endosomes and the mtm-6/mtm-9 myotubularin complex (PubMed:21076391). Required in embryonic development for endoderm specification and the correct positioning and orientation of the mitotic spindles and division planes in blastomere cells (PubMed:9288749, PubMed:16678095). Functions during vulval development, playing a role in vulval precursor cell fate specification (PubMed:11063687, PubMed:18077322). During development, specifically regulates the migration of HSN neurons, the left Q neuroblast (QL) and its descendants and the distal tip cells of the gonads (PubMed:8898225, PubMed:10388818, PubMed:11063687, PubMed:18160346, PubMed:18160347). Positioning of Q neuroblasts may be both dependent and independent of hox gene mab-5 (PubMed:8898225). Involved in establishing ALM and PLM neuronal cell polarity (PubMed:18160346).
