173788 | P22980 | MYOD1_CAEEL | Myoblast determination protein 1 homolog (MyoD protein 1) (Helix-loop-helix protein 1) | DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE | RNAi-mediated knockdown results in a low frequency of embryonic lethality, with embryos arresting paralyzed at the two-fold stage; increases in frequency significantly on an hnd-1 or unc-120 mutant background (PubMed:15892873). Many embryos that survive to hatch become uncoordinated, dumpy larvae (PubMed:15892873). Double RNAi-mediated knockdown with sem-2 results in no sex myoblast production (PubMed:21307099). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15892873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21307099}. |
