Cat

Symbol: Cat
Name: Catalase
Entrez gene ID: 40048
Ensembl gene ID: FBgn0000261
Species: Fly (Taxid: 7227)

Functional description:
Occurs in almost all aerobically respiring organisms and serves to protect cells from the toxic effects of hydrogen peroxide. [UniProt]

Observation:

Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod1 results in a one-third (i.e. 30%) lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. Targeted overexpression of CAT in the mitochondrial matrix has no effect on lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, slightly shortens lifespan at 29 degree Celsius as is associated with increased resistance to endogenous hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, and cold stress [12521602].



Interventions:
  • Overexpression of Cat and Sod1 +30%
  • Cat overexpression

    • Assays: Organismal Lifespan

    Classification:
  • No Age Effect
