Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for lin-14 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 409)

Symbol
lin-14
Name
abnormal cell LINeage
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
Small noncoding temporal RNA that controls the timing of larval development

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
A loss-of-function mutation in lin-14 extended lifespan by 31% while a gain-of-function mutation decreased lifespan. The life-extending effects were dependent on daf-16 and hsf-1. Also, lin-14 is a target of lin-4.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is 31% higher.
