180630 P06125 VIT5_CAEEL Vitellogenin-5 DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Simultaneous RNAi-mediated knockdown of vitellogenins vit-1, vit-2, vit-3, vit-4 and vit-5 increases life span, causes accumulation of neutral lipid and an increase in lgg-1 foci in the proximal intestine; however, does not affect fertility or pharyngeal pumping rates (PubMed:26671266). Expression of transcription factors pha-4 and daf-16 are increased (PubMed:26671266). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26671266}.
