Lifespan

upin yeast cells1

1 study
  1. SUR2 extends lifespan in yeast cells.

    “This ceramide profile alteration impairs both mitochondrial morphology and function, ultimately shortening the chronological lifespan.”

    CellsChronological lifespan; shown by loss of SUR2 function

    Loss of SUR2 alters the composition of ceramides and shortens chronological lifespan of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Mitochondrial morphology and function

upin yeast cells1

1 study
  1. SUR2 improves mitochondrial morphology and function in yeast cells.

    “This ceramide profile alteration impairs both mitochondrial morphology and function, ultimately shortening the chronological lifespan.”

    CellsShown by ceramide profile alteration following loss of SUR2 function

    Loss of SUR2 alters the composition of ceramides and shortens chronological lifespan of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Total ceramide content

upin yeast cells1

1 study
  1. SUR2 increases total ceramide content in yeast cells (SUR2 loss reduced total ceramide content to about half of wild-type).

    “resulting in a significant reduction of total ceramide content to about half of that in wild-type cells.”

    CellsShown by loss of SUR2 function versus wild-type cells

    Loss of SUR2 alters the composition of ceramides and shortens chronological lifespan of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
