Caenorhabditis elegansGenAge entry for rict-1 (Caenorhabditis elegans)

Gene information (ID: 1981)

Symbol
rict-1
Name
hypothetical protein
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
At 25 degrees celsius, rict-1 mutants fed HT115 lived slightly longer than WT, but on OP50, their lifespan was reduced. The increase in lifespan was dependent on skn-1. In contrast, at 20 C, rict-1 mutation dramatically shortened lifespan compared with WT on either food source, showing that this lifespan extension is also temperature-dependent.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Mean lifespan was approximately 10% higher.
