Tubby Products

Description

Tub-1 protein is C. elegans tubby homolog, required for normal sensory behavior. It is expressed in ciliated neurons and undergoes both cilated and dendritic transport. It has been shown to be involved in regulating fat storage, most likely by modulating transport, sensing, or responding to signals in ciliated neurons. It has also been shown to play a role in regulating life span, but by a different mechanism than fat storage regulation.
