Gene information (ID: 445)

Symbol
Eip71CD
Aliases
CG7266; Dmel\CG7266; dmsrA; DROZ60MEX; Eip28; Eip28; /29
Name
Ecdysone-induced protein 28/29kD
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
MSRA repairs damage resulting from oxidative stress

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Overexpression in the nervous system extended lifespan by up to 70%, increased resistance to oxidative stress, and delayed the onset of senescence-induced decline in activity levels and reproductive capacity.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Lifespan is up to 70% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Overexpression
