Drosophila melanogasterGenAge entry for Prp19 (Drosophila melanogaster)

Gene information (ID: 2230)

Symbol
Prp19
Name
Pre-RNA processing factor 19
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Adult specific overexpression of Prp19 increased lifespan in female fruit flies by up to 25%. In addition to this, DNA damage was reduced and resistance to oxidative damage and genotoxic stress was increased. Male lifespan was not significantly affected by Prp19 overpexression.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is 25% higher.
