Symbol
trpa-1
Name
Protein TRPA-1
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Overexpression of wild-type trpa-1 extends lifespan at 20C and 15C (but not at 25C). Additionally, trpa-1 null mutant worms are short lived at 20C and 15C (but not at 25C).
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is up to 33.5% higher.
