Ligand

The ligands of DAF-12 are various isomers of dafachronic acids, which derive from sterols upon oxidation by DAF-9, a cytochrome P450 enzime.

Physiological effects of DAF-12

daf-12 in Caenorhabditis elegans plays a key role in the regulation of development and determination of adult longevity. It has effects also on resistance to oxidative and thermal stress which makes daf-12 the first gene with alleles that can extend or shorten lifespan.

Possible applications od DAF-12 LBD

DAF-12 LBD can be fused with various DBDs to activate the expression of chosen genes by addition of dafachronic acids (ligand).
