- Symbol
- AhcyL2
- Name
- Adenosylhomocysteinase like 2
- Organism
- Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)
- Observations
- Downregulation of two out of three of Drosophila homologs of AHCY significantly extended life span in adult males and females, median lifespan was 21% higher when Ahcy89E was downregulated. Intestine specific downregulation of Ahcy89E resulted in increased lifespan and health span.
