Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

SQSTM1 is involved in autophagic degradation, but possibly apoptosis, immune response and other functions. SQSTM1 knockout mice are short-lived, perhaps due to its role in activating NFE2L2 since tissues exhibited a pro-oxidative environment due to compromised mitochondrial electron transport. Males live 34% less, while females are only slightly shorter-lived. Males also exhibit some signs of accelerated ageing [3261]. While its role in ageing is unproven, SQSTM1 is worthy of further studies.
