Functional description:
Protein GPA-9; Guanine nucleotide-binding protein alpha-9 subunit [Source:UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot;Acc:Q20910] [Ensembl]; gpa-9 encodes a member of the G protein alpha subunit family of heterotrimeric GTPases; it is expressed in ASJ, PHB, PVQ, pharyngeal muscle, and the spermatheca. [WormBase]

Observation:

Increase in maximum lifespan by up to 50% in knockouts and decrease by 20% in mean lifespan, but surprisingly increase in maximum lifespan by up to 20%, when gpa-9 is overexpressed.
