Drosophila melanogasterGenAge entry for Sirt2 (Drosophila melanogaster)

Gene information (ID: 609)

Symbol
Sirt2
Aliases
CG5085; D.mel2; Dmel\CG5085; dSIRT2; SIRT2
Name
CG5085-PA
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster (AnAge)
Known functions and activities
NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase that silences gene expression

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Decreased expression by RNA interference caused lethality during development. Silencing in neurons shortened mean lifespan by 20%.
% change in avg or median lifespan
Average lifespan is 20% lower.
Lifespan Effect
Decrease
Genetic Manipulation
RNA interference
Longevity Category
Pro-Longevity
