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 mammalian model organism
Description

ARNTL forms a heterodimer with CLOCK, which activates circadian rhythm-associated genes. Mice deficient in ARNTL have an impaired circadian behavior, reduced lifespan, and display symptoms of premature ageing associated in some tissues with increased levels of reactive oxygen species [1841]. BMAL1 deficient mice also have an increased activity of mTORC1, and treatment with rapamycin rescues their median lifespan by ~50% and maximum lifespan by ~25% [3627].
