Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

An important player in growth signalling pathways, GRB2's functions are not yet well understood. Analyses of mice with a null mutation in GRB2 suggest that GRB2 is required for embryonic development and malignant transformation [620]. Due to its role as a signal transducer of many pathways, including pathways and genes previously related to ageing such as INS/IGF1 signalling and SHC1 [1107], it is possible GRB2 plays some role in ageing.
