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

TERF1 associates with the telomeres and appears to be an important regulator of telomere biology [73]. Expression of TERF1 in mice prevented age-related decline in neuromuscular function, glucose homeostasis, cognitive function, lipid stores, and chronic anemia [4503]. Though, its role in human ageing is unknown, TERF1 levels decrease with ageing in both mice and humans.
