Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

An important regulator of the cell cycle, EGR1 has been suggested to act upstream of ageing-related genes such as TP53 [163]. It also appears to be pro-apoptotic [466]. EGR1's role in ageing is unknown, but it might be part of its signalling cascade. Further studies are necessary to establish whether EGR1 is a factor in human ageing.
