DILP2 inhibits GlyP in S2 cells.
“DILP2, but not DILP5, was subsequently shown to repress enzymatic GlyP activity in S2 cells.”

GlyP is required for lifespan in dilp2 mutants; phosphonull, enzymatically inactive GlyP.
“longevity was repressed by expression of phosphonull GlyP that is enzymatically inactive.”

GlyP extends lifespan in flies (overexpression, Ser15 phosphorylation-dependent, in flies with intact insulin genes).
“GlyP overexpression extended lifespan in a Ser15 phosphorylation-dependent manner.”

GlyP mediates neuroprotection (neuroprotection benefit of dietary restriction, via cAMP-PKA activation).
“Our findings uncover a critical role for increased GlyP activity in mediating the neuroprotection benefit of dietary restriction (DR) through the cAMP-mediated protein kinase A (PKA) activation.”
