GenAge entry for PEX5 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 58)

HGNC symbol
PEX5 
Aliases
PTS1R; PXR1 
Common name
peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description

A peroxisome receptor, PEX5 has been associated with genes and pathways previously related to ageing, such as ATM [994]. An involvement in cellular senescence has also been suggested [402]. Nonetheless, a direct role of PEX5 in human ageing has not been demonstrated.
