Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for itr-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 949)

Symbol
itr-1
Name
Inositol Triphosphate Receptor
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Increased ITR-1 activity extends median and maximum lifespan (53% increase of median lifespan, 29% increase of maximum lifespan), whereas reduced ITR-1 activity shortens culture survival (i.e., -11% increase of median lifespan, -31% increase of maximum lifespan)
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 29% higher.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Median lifespan is 53% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Overexpression or mutations
