gene: daf-12 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables nuclear receptor activity; sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and steroid hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; heat acclimation; and positive regulation of dauer larval development. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including gonad; neurons; pharyngeal muscle cell; somatic gonad precursor; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2B; carcinoma (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human VDR (vitamin D receptor).

Caenorhabditis elegans This is a predicted enhancer region. These are intergenic TF-binding sites >500 bp from a gene start which overlap a TSS cluster, excluding regions that appear to be unannotated promoters based on having a signature of high H3K4me3/low H3K4me1. Nearest downstream gene=F11A1.3. Surounding gene organisation=divergent
