General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function loss-of-function mutations of the ketoacyl thiolase gene kat-1 result in an increased accumulation of the lipofuscin-like fluorescent aging pigment, shortened lifespan, early behavioral decline, and other abnormalities characteristic of premature aging. Isoform kat-1 is required for the extension of lifespan and enhanced thermotolerance mediated by extra copies of the deacetylase gene sir-2.1. kat-1 acts independently of other known pathways that affect longevity Caenorhabditis elegans
