INS overexpression

Species: Nematode (Taxid: 6239)
Factor: INS
Manipulation: Gain-of-Function, Overexpression
Effect:

Expression of human insulin under an inducible heat shock promoter increases nematode lifespan by 25% and is also able to enhance the lifespan of daf-2 mutants [11274053].

Mean: +25
