Drosophila melanogasterGenAge entry for myo (Drosophila melanogaster)

Gene information (ID: 1880)

Symbol
myo
Name
myoglianin
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Similarly to Mnt, Myoglianin (myo) overexpression in flies lowers climbing defects and increases both median and maximum lifespan. Contrastly, RNAi against myoglianin shortens median lifespan and results in more age-related climbing defects.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is aproximately 20% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is aproximately 25% higher.
