A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name Pit1
Type somatic mutation
Species Mus musculus
Tissue liver
Experiment Method Western blots
Up/Down NA
Pro/Anti Anti
Funtion Description Our studies suggest that the Pit1 mutation results in a decreased activity of the insulin/IGF-1 pathway; that this plays a key role in the longevity of the Snell dwarf mouse and conforms to the nematode longevity paradigm.
Regulation Gene Pit1
