Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Neuronal overexpression of Jafrac1 significantly increased both mean and maximal lifespan, while neuronal knockdown of Jafrac1 , as well as the loss-of-function mutation, caused a reduction in lifespan of up to 30%.
% change in max lifespan
Average male lifespan is 29% higher; Average female lifespan is 26% higher; Maximum male lifespan is up to 26% higher; Maximum female lifespan is aprox. 22% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average male lifespan is 29% higher; Average female lifespan is 26% higher.
