Drosophila melanogasterGenAge entry for Smox (Drosophila melanogaster)

Gene information (ID: 1904)

Symbol
Smox
Name
Smad on X
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Post developmental RNA interference of Smox in the whole body increases lifespan by up to 10%. Tissue specific RNA interference also increases lifespan in muscle (16%) but not in adipose tissue (where it decreases lifespan).
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan is 10% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Post developmental RNA interference
Longevity Category
Anti-Longevity
