Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Up to 10% maximum lifespan extension in gpa-1 knockouts. Loss-of-function of gpa-1 did not extend the lifespan of daf-2 mutants.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 10% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Knockout
