177943 Q0G819 PP2B_CAEEL Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2B catalytic subunit (EC 3.1.3.16) (Abnormal chemotaxis protein 6) (Calmodulin-dependent calcineurin subunit A) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Shorter body length and reduced serotinin-induced egg laying as compared to wild-type (PubMed:27871170). Reduced calcium responses in AFD neurons upon a temperature increase from 16 to 20 degrees Celsius as compared to wild-type. At 17 degrees Celsius displays thermophilic behavior, preferentially migrating towards hotter regions (PubMed:26232604). RNAi-mediated knockdown results in an increase in lifespan (PubMed:21331044, PubMed:23805378). Also causes nuclear exclusion of crtc-1 (PubMed:21331044). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21331044, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23805378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26232604, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27871170}.
