Caenorhabditis elegans GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: egl-9

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 179461)

Symbol
egl-9
Name
EGg Laying defective 9
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
179461

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

egl-9 deletion does not affect lifespan under ad lib. Lifespan extension under modified solid DR regimen is diminished by egl-9 mutation. egl-9 mutation significantly suppresses the lifespan extension by a strong loss-of-function allele of eat-2 [2571].
