Saccharomyces cerevisiae GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: PKH2

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 854053)

Symbol
PKH2
Name
Pkb-activating Kinase Homolog 2
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
854053

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

PKH2 deletion increases replicative lifespan by 20% in the alpha strain and by 15% in the a strain [2504]. Deletion of PKH2 increases chronological lifespan by 29% [2632] to 34% [2593]. PKH2 mutation extends both replicative and chronological lifespan as well as cancels out DR-induced replicative and chronological lifespan extension [2581]. Mean and maximum replicative lifespan under ad libitum is extended by 38 and 69%, respectively.
