Symbol
mir-34
Name
mir-34 stem loop
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Mir-34 loss of function mutant flies were normal as young adults but with age demonstrated deficits reflective of much older flies. The mutants had shortened lifespan, loss of locomotion, stress sensitivity and brain deterioration compared to wild type animals.
