fat-2

Symbol: fat-2
Name: FATty acid desaturase 2
Entrez gene ID: 178293
Ensembl gene ID: W02A2.1
Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239)

Function:
Delta-12 fatty acyl desutarase

Observation:

RNAi knockdown of fat-2 starting at hatching or only during the adulthood significantly extends lifespan of wild-type, but does not alter, or even shortens the lifespan of eat-2 mutants. FAT-2 is downregulated in eat-2 [22810224].
