Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for cku-70 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 129)

Symbol
cku-70
Name
Caenorhabditis KU
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
DNA-binding subunit of a DNA-dependent protein kinase

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
RNA interference of cku-70 further increases the lifespan of daf-2 mutants. Lifespan of daf-16 mutants was slightly decreased.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
RNA interference
Longevity Category
Anti-Longevity
