Symbol: pex16 Name: peroxin 16 Entrez gene ID: 40293 Ensembl gene ID: FBgn0037019 Species: Fly (Taxid: 7227) Observation: pex16 mutation lead to a reduced mean lifespan of one-third in females and on-fourth in males. The short lifespan can be rescued by the simultaneous overexpression of pex16 in the fat body and differentiated neurons [21826223]. Mutant flies lack normal peroxisomes, have an reduced adult body size (70%-85% smaller than controls) and rozy eyes, show locomotion defects in the development of the nervous system [21826223]. Interventions: Assays: Organismal Lifespan Mean: -33 to --75 Classification: Type: References: Aging Relevance Analysis/Source: Homologs Inparanoids Edit \ Update (Admin) | Delete |
