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

ZMPSTE24 is a zinc metalloprotease involved in the post-translational processing of LMNA precursors. ZMPSTE24-null mice have a short lifespan and show some signs of accelerated ageing. Disruption of TP53 in ZMPSTE24-null mice partly alleviates these symptoms [1472]. Mutations in ZMPSTE24 have been associated with human diseases, often due to the accumulation of LMNA precursors [1477]. It is possible that ZMPSTE24, maybe due to its association with LMNA, plays some role in human ageing.
