TheDaf-9gene encodes acytochrome p450enzyme catalysis the generation ofdafachronic acid (asteroidhormone) in the wormCaenorhabditis elegans,[1] with the CYP SymbolCYP22A1 (Cytochrome P450, family 22, member A1). After generation, dafachronic acid will binding it'snuclear receptorDaf-12 and has been implicated byCynthia Kenyon and colleagues related to the formation ofDauer larva.[2]
