Mus musculusGenAge entry for Htra2 (Mus musculus)

Gene information (ID: 1802)

Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Mice with both a mutation in Htra2 (which normally causes neurodegeneration 30-40 days after birth) and expressing human HTRA2 in the central nervous system (which rescues mice from neurodegeneration and prevents premature death) develop signs of premature ageing. These include premature weight loss, hair loss, reduced fertility and kyphosis.
