1 study
  1. YCA1 shortens lifespan in yeast cells.

    “increased YCA1 activity led to reduced chronological lifespan (CLS)”

Oxidative stress and ROS signaling

upin yeast cells1

1 study
  1. YCA1 increases oxidative stress and ROS signaling in yeast cells.

    “When deleting YCA1, the caspase-like activity and the oxidative stress decreased”

    CellsShown by YCA1 deletion in the PUFA-producing strain

    PUFA-induced cell death is mediated by Yca1p-dependent and -independent pathways, and is reduced by vitamin C in yeast
