Symbol: nac-3
Name: NADC (Na+-coupled dicarboxylate transporter) family
Entrez gene ID: 176429
Ensembl gene ID: K08E5.2
Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239)

Functional description:
High-affinity sodium-dicarboxylate cotransporter that accepts a range of tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates with 4-5 carbon atoms. There is no interaction with monocarboxylates. Plays a role in the regulation of life span. [UniProt]

Observation:

RNA interference knockdown of nac-3 leads to an 15% increase in average lifespan.
