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 of GAL4-DAF-12

By the addition of lipid ligands (dafachronic acids), 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).
