G Protein, Alpha subunit

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Worms with a odr-3 loss-of-function mutation display an increased lifespan in a temperature-independent manner.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan is up to 27% higher.
Lifespan Effect
Increase
Genetic Manipulation
Mutation
Longevity Category
Anti-Longevity

    Observations
    Loss-of-function mutation extended mean lifespan by 10-30% but not maximum lifespan. Life-extension was dependent on daf-16 but cumulative with daf-2 mutations.
    % change in avg or median lifespan
    Average lifespan is 10-30% higher.
