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

MYC regulates gene transcription and appears to promote growth. It is also an oncogene [226], involved in cellular senescence [1617]. Overexpression of Myc in flies increases the frequency of somatic mutations, and shortens median and maximum lifespan by up to 47%. Contrastly, Myc haploinsufficiency lowers the frequency of somatic mutations and extends the lifespan of flies by about 14% [3543]. Among its many interacting partners, MYC has been linked to ageing-related genes such as WRN [223] and TERT [225], and hence might play some, so far unknown, role in human ageing.
