- Symbol
- GlyS
- Name
- Glycogen synthase
- Organism
- Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)
- Observations
- Neuron-specific RNA interference of glycogen synthase (GlyS) in adult fly males results in a significantly longer median (10%) and maximum lifespan compared to wild-type controls. No significant lifespan increase is observed in fly females.
- % change in avg or median lifespan
- Male median lifespan is 10% higher.
- Lifespan Effect
- Increase
- Genetic Manipulation
- Post developmental RNA interference
- Longevity Category
- Anti-Longevity
