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

MSRA repairs damage resulting from oxidative stress. Results from invertebrates suggest a role for MSRA in ageing. Overexpression of a MSRA homologue in fruit flies extends lifespan [42]. Disruption of MSRA in mice decreases longevity and, albeit not proven, might accelerate ageing [43]. Elevated expression of human MSRA in transgenic mice reduces the rate of age-related death in female mice when targeted to the cytosol, and improves insulin sensitivity when targeted to the mitochondria. However, neither intervention extends lifespan [4486]. In humans, MSRA has been associated with age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease [978]. Therefore, MSRA could be involved in human ageing.
