Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for mics-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 2011)

Symbol
mics-1
Name
MItoChondrial Scaffolding protei
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
RNA interference (or mutations) of mics-1 results in mutants with enhanced longevity when compated to HT115 wild-type controls (mean lifespan up to 54% higher). Additionally, termal stress of mics-1 mutants display lower reactive oxygen species production.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan is 54% higher.
