Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Ubiquitous or neuron-specific up-regulation of Parkin, in adult Drosophila melanogaster, increases both mean and maximum lifespan without reducing reproductive output, physical activity, or food intake. Long-lived Parkin-overexpressing flies display an increase in K48-linked polyubiquitin and reduced levels of protein aggregation during aging.
% change in max lifespan
Female maximum lifespan is 28% higher. Smaller positive effects in male flies.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Female average lifespan is 28% higher. Smaller positive effects in male flies.
