Functional description:
EATing: abnormal pharyngeal pumping family member (eat-18) [Source:RefSeq peptide;Acc:NP_001021691] [Ensembl]

Observation:

Mutations in eat-18 extend lifespan by 15-60%. Lifespan extension is proposed to be similar to DR [9789046]. eat-1 mutants have defects in pharyngeal feeding behavior [8462849].

Interventions:

eat-18 mutation +15 to +60%

Assays: Organismal Lifespan
