Caenorhabditis elegans GenDR Dietary Restriction Gene Manipulation: cup-4

Gene Information (Entrez Gene ID: 176104)

Symbol
cup-4
Name
Coelomocyte UPtake defective 4
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans (AnAge)
Entrez Gene ID
176104

Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

cup-4 RNAi or overexpression reduces oxidative stress resistance and shortens lifespan of wild-type under ad lib. cup-4 RNAi significantly reduces the extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants. Lifespan of cup-4 mutants increases only moderately by solid DR [2574].
