The Daf-9 gene encodes a cytochrome p450 enzyme catalysis the generation of dafachronic acid (a steroid hormone) in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans,[1] with the CYP Symbol CYP22A1 (Cytochrome P450, family 22, member A1). After generation, dafachronic acid will binding it's nuclear receptor Daf-12 and has been implicated by Cynthia Kenyon and colleagues related to the formation of Dauer larva.[2]
