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

Mostly present in erythrocytes, GPX1 protects from oxidative damage. Changes in GPX1 have been reported in mice during ageing and due to caloric restriction [243], but there is no direct evidence linking GPX1 to ageing. Mice without GPX1 are more susceptibility to oxidative stress, but do not show signs of premature ageing [741], except for cataracts [742]. Overexpression of GPX1 in mice results in insulin (INS) resistance and obesity [1066]. Results from transgenic mice overexpressing GPX1 in the heart suggest GPX1 could be beneficial to prevent cardiac failure [1711]. Its role, if any, in human ageing remains to be determined.
