Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing
- Observations
- Gr63a loss of function in female flies leads to extended lifespan, increased fat deposition, and enhanced resistance to some (but not all) environmental stresses. Lifespan extension was not observed in males. Overexpression of Gr63a had a modest negative effect on lifespan
- % change in avg or median lifespan
- Average female lifespan is up to 30% higher;
- Lifespan Effect
- Increase
- Genetic Manipulation
- Deletion
- Longevity Category
- Anti-Longevity
