    Gclc overexpression Overexpression of Gclc extended mean and maximum lifespan by up to 50% [16148000]. Fly +50 +50
    Gclm overexpression Overexpression of Gclm extends the mean lifespan by up to 24% [16148000]. Fly +24
    Gh antagonist overexpression Overexpression of a growth hormone antagonist (a mutated bovine growth hormone that competes with the endogenous one) has no effect on lifespan [12933651]. Mouse
    GH overexpression Overexpression of GH is associated wtih markedly reduced lifespan and various indices of premature aging [8100276]. Transgenic mice overexpressing bovine Gh1 are bigger than controls and display early onset of pathological changes in the kidneys such glomerulosis and glomerulonephritis as well as signs of premature aging such as a shortened lifespan, increased astrogliosis, shortened reproductive lifepsan and early onset of age-related changes in cognitive function, hypothalamic neurotransmitter turnover, and plasma corticosterone levels [14583653]. Mouse
    gig overexpression Overexpression of gig, also known as dTsc2, results in lifespan extension. Overexpression of dTsc2 increases mean lifespan by 20% and 12%, at 25°C and 29°C, respectively, and protects from deleterious effects of rich food, as if mimicking the effect of DR [15186745]. Overexpression of dTsc2 via a UAS promoter in the eye using the driver gmr-GAL4 or in the nervous system by using appI-GAL4 does not extend the lifespan. Using the drivers 24BGAL4 and PO188-GAL4, enhancer traps that are predominantly expressed in the muscle and fat results in mean lifespan extension of 27% and 37%, respectively, at 29°C [15186745]. Fat-specific drivers DJ634-GAL4 and PO163-GAL4 when used to overexpress dTsc2, also led to a mean lifespan extension of 22% and 31%, respectively, at 29°C [15186745]. Fly +20 to +31
    GLaz overexpression Overexpression of GLaz results in increased resistance to hyperoxia (100% O2) and a 29% extension of mean lifespan under normoxia. Lifespan was also extended 30-60% under starvation [16581512]. Fly +29
    Gr63a overexpression Overexpression of Gr63a has modest negative effect on lifespan [20422037]. Fly
    GstS1 overexpression GstS1 overexpression increases the mean lifespan by 33% [18059160]. Fly +33
    GUT2 overexpression Overexpression of GUT2 extends replicative lifespan by 25% and does not synergize with 0.5% glucose restriction [18381895]. Yeast +25
    HAP4 overexpression Overexpression of HAP4 from the ADH1 promoter extends lifespan of PSY316 strain approximately 40% under growth conditions favoring fermentation (2% glucose). Overexpression of HAP4 increases replicative lifespan, but is non-additive with 0.5% glucose restriction in lifespan extension. Lifespan extension by HAP4 overexpression requires SIR2 [12124627]. HAP4 deletion suppresses replicative lifespan extension to 30% and 33% on 0.1% glucose and on elimination of non-essential amino acids, respectively [20178842]. HAP4 overexpressing cells demonstrate a transcriptional response resembling cells undergoing diauxic shift, consume more oxygen, and exhibit increased Sir2-dependent transcriptional silencing at telomeres and rDNA [12124627]. Yeast +30 to +40
    hebe overexpression Adult-specific overexpression of hebe increases the lifespan by 5-30% and modulates late-age female fecundity. Female and male mean lifespan is up to 11% and 24% higher [19011900]. Fly +5 to +30
    hep overexpression Overexpression of hey significantly extends median (50%) and maximum (25%) lifespan [14602080]. Fly +50 +25
    HES1 overexpression Elevation of HES1 levels by an ERG6 promoter reduces mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 25, 18 and 29% [Geber et al., unpublished] Yeast -25 -18 -29
    Heterozyogus Trp53 truncation mutation Mice heterozyogous for an allele of p53 that removes the 5' portion of the protein demonstrate decreased cancer, permature aging phenotypes, and shortened lifespan in the mixed inbred C57BL/6–129/Sv background. It has been proposed that the this allele of p53 results in increased activity/overexpression [11780111]. Mouse
    Hsc70-3 overexpression Overexpression of Hsc70-3 increases average female lifespan by 27% [18059160]. Fly +27
    hsf-1 overexpression Overexpression of hsf-1 extends the mean, median, and maximum lifespan by 37, 35, and 29% [22737090]. Worm +37 +35 +29
    hsp-6 overexpression Overexpression of hsp-6 from a muscle-specific promoter extends lifespan mean and maximum lifespan by 43 and 45% relatively to animals expressing GFP from the same promoter [11959102]. Worm +43 +45
    HSP104 overexpression Overexpression of HSP104 driven by GAL promoter is insufficient to extend replicative lifespan [9851879]. Overproduction of HSP104 in wild-type cells has no effect on replicative life span, but suppresses the reduced lifespan of Sir2-deficient cells [17908928]. HSP104 overproduction is sufficient to induce thermotolerance [8643570]. Yeast
    Hsp22 doxycyline-regulated overexpression Doxycyline-regulated overexpression of Hsp22 makes animals more sensitive to heat and oxidative stress as well as reduces the mean lifespan by up to 21%, particularly at higher culture temperature [15491684]. -21
    Hsp22 overexpression Overexpression of mitochondrial Hsp22 in all cells or specifically in motorneurons (using GAL4/UAS binary system) increases life lifespan by 32% and resistance to oxidative stress [19948727; 20036725]. Ubiquitous or a targeted expression of Hsp22 within motorneurons increases the mean lifespan by more than 30%. Hsp22 shows beneficial effects on early-aging events since the premortality phase displays the same increase as the mean lifespan [14734639]. Fly +30 to 32
    Hsp22-promoter driven reporter overexpression Hsp22-promoter driven reporter overexpression reduces mean and maximum lifespan [19420297]. Fly
    Hsp23 overexpression Overexpression of Hsp23 increases mean lifespan by more than 30% and increases the premortality phase [14734639]. Fly +30
    Hsp26 overexpression Overexpression of Hsp26 (by the UAS/GAL4 system) increases stress resistance and extends the mean lifespan by 30% [15308776]. Fly +30
    Hsp27 overexpression Overexpression of Hsp27 (by the UAS/GAL4 system) increases stress resistance and extends the mean lifespan by 30% [15308776]. Fly +30
    Hsp68 overexpression Overexpression of Hsp68 extends modestly (by around 15%) median and maximum lifespan [14602080]. There is a consistent and significant lifespan extension by 20% in both males and females when hsp68 is overexpressed in somatic cells. hp68 overexpression using GMR-Gal4, and eye-specific driver that expresses Gal4 in salivary glands has no effects.Hsp78 overexpression using the weaker 5961FS driver moderately but significantly extends lifespan [20976250].
