Caenorhabditis elegans GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: mlk-1

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 178895)

Symbol
mlk-1
Name
human MLK (Mixed Lineage Kinase) homolog
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
178895

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

Loss-of-function mlk-1 mutant reduces the lifespan extension of intermitent fasting. In the wild-type N2 worms, intermitent fasting increases lifespan by ~77%, while in the mlk-1 mutants lifespan extension is reduced to ~50%.
