Symbol: rps-11 Name: Ribosomal Protein, Small subunit Entrez gene ID: 178083 Ensembl gene ID: F40F11.1 Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239) Functional description: Protein RPS-11; Ribosomal Protein, Small subunit family member (rps-11) [Source:RefSeq peptide;Acc:NP_502186] [Ensembl]; rps-11 encodes a small ribosomal subunit S11 protein; by homology, RPS-11 is predicted to function in protein biosynthesis; in C. elegans, RPS-11 activity is required for embryonic and germline development, as well as the overall health of the animal; loss of rps-11 activity in adult animals extends lifespan. [WormBase] Observation: RNA interference in adulthood extended mean lifespan by 28%. Assays: Classification: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
