Symbol: daf-10 Name: abnormal DAuer Formation 10 Entrez gene ID: 184883 Ensembl gene ID: F23B2.4 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Protein DAF-10; abnormal DAuer Formation family member (daf-10) [Source:RefSeq peptide;Acc:NP_501591] [Ensembl]; daf-10 encodes a WD- and WAA-repeat containing protein that is the C. elegans ortholog of intraflagellar transport (IFT) complex A component IFT122; daf-10 activity is required for intraflagellar transport and thus for proper development of amphid and phasmid neurons, dauer development, chemotaxis, and normal lifespan; a DAF-10::GFP fusion protein undergoes both anterograde and retrograde intraflagellar transport in amphid or phasmid sensory neurons. [WormBase] Observation: Loss of function mutation in daf-10 increases lifespan by 60% (in Bristol N2) [10617200]. daf-10 mutants are dauer defective, dye filling defective, octopamine deficient and have abnormal chemotaxis and osmotic avoidance. Mutants in daf-10 display abnormal sensory anatomy, especially amophidial neurons and sheath cells, and cephalic neurons. daf-10 mutant males do not mate [2428682].
