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].
