cup-4

Symbol: cup-4
Name: Coelomocyte UPtake defective 4
Entrez gene ID: 176104
Ensembl gene ID: C02C2.3
Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239)

Functional description:
Thought to regulate endocytosis in coelomocytes through modulation of phospholipase C activity. Possible acetylcholine receptor. [UniProt]

Observation:

cup-4 RNAi or overexpession reduces oxidative stress resistance and shortens lifespan of wild-type under AL. cup-4 RNAi significantly reduces the extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants, but failed to block lifespan extension of age-1 or clk-1 mutants. Lifespan of cup-4 mutants increases only moderately by sDR [19783783].



Interventions:
  • cup-4 RNAi
  • cup-4 overexpression
  • cup-4 mutation

  • Assays: Organismal Lifespan
