WormMine: RNAi WBRNAi00085232

• WormBase ID: WBRNAi00085232
• Phenotype Remark: RNAi resulted in decreased levels of triacylglycerides, the main form of fat stored in the intestinal compartment. In addition the saturated fatty acid stearic acid (C18:0) was markedly increased in response to RNAi, whereas the monounsaturated fatty acid oleic acid was strongly decreased. Authors state that the normal function of this gene may serve a specific role in maintaining lipid homeostasis and promote fat storage.
