Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Knockouts showed a 30% decrease in maximum lifespan. Overexpression of pnc-1 increased adult survival under oxidative stress but did not extend the lifespan.
% change in max lifespan
Maximum lifespan is 30% lower.
Lifespan Effect
Decrease
Genetic Manipulation
Knockout
