1 study
  1. DILP2 inhibits GlyP in S2 cells.

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

  1. GlyP is required for lifespan in dilp2 mutants; phosphonull, enzymatically inactive GlyP.

    “longevity was repressed by expression of phosphonull GlyP that is enzymatically inactive.”

1 study
  1. 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.”
