Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for par-5 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 493)

Symbol
par-5
Name
abnormal embryonic PARtitioning of cytoplasm
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
RNA interference slightly shortens lifespan and suppresses life-extension by sir-2.1 overexpression but not by daf-2 mutants. Overexpression extends lifespan by 30%, but is suppressed by RNA interference of daf-16.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Lifespan is 30% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Overexpression
Longevity Category
Pro-Longevity

    Observations
    Post developmental RNAi let to a 15% mean lifespan reduction in wild type though no significant changes in maximal lifespan.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Average lifespan is 15% lower.
    Lifespan Effect
    Decrease
