Daf-9
The daf-9 gene encodes a cytochrome p450 enzyme that catalyses the generation of dafachronic acid in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans, with the CYP Symbol CYP22A1. After generation, dafachronic acid will bind its nuclear receptor Daf-12, whose genetic mutation has been implicated by Cynthia Kenyon and colleagues as related to the formation of Dauer larva.
