unc-31

Symbol: unc-31
Name: UNCoordinated
Entrez gene ID: 178233
Ensembl gene ID: ZK897.1
Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239)

Functional description:
Protein UNC-31; Calcium-dependent secretion activator [Source:UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot;Acc:Q23658] [Ensembl]

Observation:

Mutation in unc-31 increases hermaphrodite lifespan by approximately 70% and male lifespan by 150% [10377425; 11063684; 10747056]. unc-31 also cause constitutive dauer formation. Both phenotypes, enhanced longevity and constitutive dauer formation are suppressed by mutations in daf-16. unc-31 site of action is neuronal [10377425].

unc-31 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476] and exhibit dauer constitutive phenotype [10377425], are lethargic, feed constitutively, are defective in egg-laying, and produce dauer larvae that fail to recover [8462849].
