Physiological functions of NHR-80

NHR-80 encodes a nuclear hormone receptor, expressed in the intestine, that regulates expression of the delta-9 desaturases FAT-5/-6/-7, and thus regulates fatty acid metabolism; NHR-80 is fully required for any expression of FAT-7, full expression of FAT-5/-6, viability in the absence of FAT-6, and transcriptional hyperactivation of fat-7 in the absence of FAT-6, and for a fully normal adult lifespan.

Potential applications of GAL4-NHR-80

By the addition of lipid ligands(unknown), the created system activates the expression of any kind of genes fused to UAS(upstream activation seqence)previously. Also can be used as a lipid sensor by activating reporter genes (e.g. Luciferase).
