- Description
- dsc-4 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the large subunit of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; dsc-4 affects the length of the defecation cycle and genetically interacts with clk-1 with respect to defecation cycle length, and also with respect to the clk-1- dependent adjustment of defecation cycle length to temperature; a DSC-4::GFP fusion protein is expressed in the intestine beginning during embryonic elongation and continuing on through adulthood.
