eak-7 encodes a conserved protein that contains a TLDc (TBC and LysM domain-containing) domain and an N-myristoylation motif; EAK-7 negatively regulates dauer formation and longevity by controlling the nuclear activity of the DAF-16/FoxO transcription factor; an EAK-7::GFP is widely expressed and localizes to the plasma membrane.
Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; pharynx; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human MEAK7 (MTOR associated protein, eak-7 homolog).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
