unc-51

Symbol: unc-51
Name: UNCoordinated-51
Entrez gene ID: 180311
Ensembl gene ID: Y60A3A.1
Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239)

Functional description:
in neurons, an UNC-51::GFP fusion protein shows punctate cytoplasmic localization in axons and cell bodies and partial co-localization with UNC-14 and UNC-5; Protein kinase important for axonal elongation and axonal guidance. Functions in the CAN axons to direct both anterior and posterior migrations. Phosphorylates both unc-14 and vab-8. [UniProt]

Observation:

unc-51(e369) mutation reduces mean but extends maximum lifespan. unc-51(e369) mutation reduces lifespan of eat-2(ad1116) mutants to that of wild-type [18219227].
