Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionins-18 encodes one of 40 C. elegans insulin/IGF-like peptides; INS-18, along with INS-1, are the only two C. elegans insulins that contain a C peptide, characteristic of mammalian insulins, connecting the B and A chains; overexpression of ins-18 induces dauer arrest at 26 degrees C and enhances the dauer arrest seen in a daf-2 mutant at 20 degrees C, suggesting that INS-18 functions to antagonize DAF-2 receptor signaling; in addition, daf-7; ins-18 doubly mutant animals show dauer maintenance defects, suggesting that INS-18 activity is required to properly maintain the dauer developmental state; ins-18::gfp reporters are expressed in neurons and the intestine.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004209

Remarkins-1 is an EMBL gene name (not CGC-approved) and became an other-name of ins-18 as their protein sequences are identical. This unofficial ins-1 is not the same as the CGC ins-1 (F13B12.5)Curator_confirmedWBPerson1845
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
