GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: atg-7
Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 178005)
- Symbol
- atg-7
- Name
- AuTophaGy (yeast Atg homolog) 7
- Organism
- Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
- Entrez Gene ID
- 178005
Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing
- Observations
-
RNA interference against atg-7 shortens mean lifespan by 23% and maximum lifespan by 30% in a eat-2 mutant background but not in wild-type animals. Thus, atg-7 RNAi does not affect lifespan of wild-type, but cancels out the lifespan extension effect of eat-2 mutation, a genetic model of DR [2244].
