Name
Epidermal growth factor receptor pathway substrate 8
Organism
Mus musculus (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Eps8 KO mice show a lean phenotype and increased lifespan. Mice appear to be caloric restricted, most probably due to an impaired fat absorption. Median survival of Eps8 KO mice was increased by 26%, mean survival by 37% and maximum survival by 9%. Lifespan was significantly extended both in male and female Eps8 KO mice.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 9% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is 26% higher; Average lifespan is 37% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Deletion
