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

HTRA2 is a serine protease involved in apoptosis. Mice mutant for in Htra2 develop neurodegeneration 30–40 days after birth. However, also expressing human HTRA2 in the central nervous system rescues mice from the neurodegeneration and prevents premature death; the mice then go on to develop signs of premature ageing, including premature weight loss, hair loss, reduced fertility and kyphosis [3254]. These results suggest that HTRA2 might play a role in ageing beyond neurodegeneration, though further studies are necessary to establish this.
