Cytochrome P450 oxidases (CYPs) are enzymes that participate in the xenobiotic detoxification and their expression is enhanced in long-lived model organisms. Here the authors show that KLF-1 promotes cyp expression and ensures lifespan extension in C. elegans mitomutants by activating mitohormesis.
