Caenorhabditis elegans GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: faah-1

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 177613)

Symbol
faah-1
Name
Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase 1
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
177613

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

faah-1 overexpression delays development, increases thermal stress resistance, and was associated with mean and maximum adult lifespan extension by 19 and 35%, respectively, in presence of abundant food but not under two different protocols of DR. Overexpression in pharynx was largely sufficient for this lifespan extension [2636].
