Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

PDGFB is a mitogen and oncogene involved in cell survival, development, and healing [363]. Results from rats suggest it may be related to age-related changes in the heart [362], and PDGF's anti-apoptotic signalling involves several pathways and genes that in turn have been associated with ageing [333]. PDGFB's exact relevance to human ageing, however, is unknown.
