Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Conditional knockouts with reduced expression develop normally but lifespan is greatly reduced with most animals living 10-12 weeks accompanied by deficiencies in the proliferative cell compartments of several tissues and increased cancer incidence.
Lifespan Effect
Decrease
Genetic Manipulation
Conditional knockout
