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 mammalian model organism
Description

XRCC5, or Ku80, is a helicase involved in DNA repair and chromatin remodelling [577]. It has been found associated with the telomeres [158] and with WRN [983]. XRCC5-null mice live about 38 weeks and appear to age prematurely [1490]. As such, XRCC5 may play a role in human ageing.
