Gene information (ID: 1750)

Symbol
mfn-1
Name
Protein MFN-1
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Reduction of mitoferrin through RNAi results in small body size, reduced fecundity, slow movement and increased sensitivity to paraquat, but also in an increased lifespan of 50% to 80% compared to the N2 wild type worms strain.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is up to 77% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is up to 64% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
RNA interference
Longevity Category
Anti-Longevity
