Official Symbol: daf-9
Official Full Name: 3-ketosteroid oxygenase;Cytochrome P450
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00000905
Locus tag: CELE_T13C5.1

Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Predicted to enable heme binding activity; oxidoreductase activity, acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen, reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen; and steroid hydroxylase activity. Involved in cell-cell signaling; dauer larval development; and regulation of cell migration. Located in neuronal cell body and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior ganglion; excretory cell; intestine; spermatheca; and vulval muscle. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Expression of DAF-9 is increased in C. elegans subjected to dietary restriction.
Title: Steroid hormone signalling links reproduction to lifespan in dietary-restricted Caenorhabditis elegans.
Results altogether suggest that circulatory mutual regulation among daf-9, daf-12, and daf-16 at the expression level mediates cholesterol signal to control larval development upon cholesterol starvation.
Title: A circulatory transcriptional regulation among daf-9, daf-12, and daf-16 mediates larval development upon cholesterol starvation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
We propose that the dauer rescuing activity is a hormone synthesized by DAF-9 that acts through DAF-12.
Title: Lipophilic regulator of a developmental switch in Caenorhabditis elegans.
results support the hypothesis that ncr-1 and ncr-2 are involved in intracellular cholesterol processing in C. elegans, and that a sterol-signaling defect is responsible for the Daf-c phenotype of the ncr-2; ncr-1 mutant
Title: NCR-1 and NCR-2, the C. elegans homologs of the human Niemann-Pick type C1 disease protein, function upstream of DAF-9 in the dauer formation pathways.
We identified two distinct 3-keto-cholestenoic acid metabolites of DAF-9, a cytochrome P450 involved in hormone production, that function as ligands for DAF-12.
Title: Identification of ligands for DAF-12 that govern dauer formation and reproduction in C. elegans.
