- ppk28
- Name
- pickpocket 28
- Organism
- Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)
Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing
- Observations
- Female ppk28-null mutant flies display an increase in mean (up to 44%) and maximum lifespan in two different genetic backgrounds (w and yw). Loss of ppk28 also extended male lifespan in both genetic backgrounds, although to a lesser degree.
- % change in max lifespan
- Maximum lifespan is up to 25% higher.
- % change in avg or median lifespan
- Mean lifespan is 25-44% higher.
