Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for argk-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 2107)

Symbol
argk-1
Name
ARGinine Kinase
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Worms overexpressing argk-1 lived up to 25% longer at 25 and 20 degrees Celsius when compared tp the wild type. Argk-1 was found to be required for the reduced body size and increased stress resistance observed in rsks-1/S6K mutants.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan is 25% higher.
