Since using the WormBase
name of W01A8.1 (MDT - 28) would be misleading, the gene is referred here
by the cosmid
name W01A8.1, which gives
rise to at least three protein isoforms designated W01A8.1 a, W01A8.1 b, and W01A8.1 c from at least seven
different transcripts (W01A8.1 a. 1, W01A8.1 a. 2, W01A8.1 b. 1, W01A8.1 b. 2, W01A8.1 b. 3, W01A8.1 c. 1, W01A8.1 c. 2).
