A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name pdk-1
Type somatic mutation
Species Caenorhabditis elegans
Tissue C. elegans strains
Experiment Method qPCR
Up/Down NA
Pro/Anti Anti
Funtion Description We show here that a loss-of-function mutation in pdk-1, the C. elegans homolog of the mammalian Akt/PKB kinase PDK1, results in constitutive arrest at the dauer stage and increased life span; these phenotypes are suppressed by a loss of function mutation
Regulation Gene pdk-1
Year 1999
Pubmed ID 10364160
Title A PDK1 homolog is necessary and sufficient to transduce AGE-1 PI3 kinase signals that regulate diapause in Caenorhabditis elegans.
