The slow senescence of this bivalve has promoted a great interest in its 18 metabolic strategy. Altered proteasome structure, function, and oxidation in aged muscle. The ocean quahog clam shows exceptional longevity. Genus: Arctica Species Arctica islandica Common name Ocean quahog clam Synonyms Cyprina islandica Lifespan, ageing, and relevant traits IMR Not yet available MRDT No MRDT detected Maximum longevity 507 years (wild) Source ref. FASEB J. A. islandica of the BS were sampled at the station “Süderfahrt” (54°32,6 N 10°42,1E) in February 2010. 16 The ocean quahog Arctica islandica is the longest–living mollusk on Earth with a lifespan of at 17 least 500 years. … The long lifespan of two bat species is correlated with resistance to protein oxidation and enhanced protein homeostasis.

The dark periostracum is flaking off this dried valve of Arctica islandica from Wales. The ocean quahog, Arctica islandicais the longest-lived non-colonial animal known to science. 2005; 19:644–646.

A maximum individual age of this bivalve of 405 years has been found in a population off the north western coast of Iceland.

FASEB J. [PMC free article] 49. 50. The bivalve Arctica islandica, the longest-lived non-colonial animal with a record lifespan of 507 years, possesses a lower mitochondrial peroxidation index (PI) and reduced H 2 O 2 efflux linked to complexes I and III activities than related species. Material and methods 2.1. In contrast, M mercenaria … Arctica islandica were consistently more resistant than M mercenaria to mortality induced by mitochondrial oxidative stressors as well as to mortality induced by the DNA methylating agent nitrogen mustard and the DNA alkylating agent MMS.

Conspicuously shorter maximum lifespan potentials (MLSPs) were recorded from other populations ofA. 2009; 23:2317–2326. The ocean quahog (Arctica islandica) is a species of edible clam, a marine bivalve mollusk in the family Arcticidae.This species is native to the North Atlantic Ocean, and it is harvested commercially as a food source. (2012) suggested that the long lifespan of Arctica islandica in the North Atlantic was explained partly by low metabolic rate and high ability to repair damage (metabolic). In case of the genotoxic DNA cross-linking agents mitomycin and cisplatin, M mercenaria were the most resistant species.

One specimen called "Ming" was … islandica are, due to its long lifespan and generation cycle, not possible. Sampling of Arctica islandica specimen. Ferrington DA, Husom AD, Thompson LV.
