Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence directly linking the gene product to ageing in a cellular model system
Description

Involved in DNA unwinding and repair [489], RAD51 has been reported to be an important player in the cellular senescence of yeast [192]. Disruption of RAD51 in mice results in embryonic lethality [488]. Its role in mammalian ageing remains unknown.
