GenAge entry for CTF1 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 304)

HGNC symbol: CTF1
Aliases: CT-1; CT1
Common name: cardiotrophin 1

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description: Mice lacking cardiotrophin 1 (CTF1), an interleukin 6 family member which promotes fibrosis and arterial stiffness, display decreased arterial stiffness, developed less vascular fibrosis and live longer than wild type mice [3501].
