Symbol: tax-4 Name: abnormal CHEmotaxis Entrez gene ID: 176297 Ensembl gene ID: ZC84.2 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Required for normal thermosensation and chemosensation sensory behavior. [UniProt] Observation: Recessive loss-of-function allele in tax-4 can increase lifespan by up to 100%. Lifespan extension by tax-4 mutation is suppressed by daf-16 and gonad ablation [10617200]. tax-4 mutants are thermotaxis and chemotaxis defective [8893027; 8348618]. Mutants are slighlty dauer constitutive and form dauers at 27 degree Celsius [9486798]. Interventions: Assays: Organismal Lifespan Classification: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source:  GenAge GenDRHomologs Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
