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

HMGB2 has been related to DNA unwinding and stress response. In mice, HMGB2 and other HMG chromosomal proteins have been shown to suffer alterations at various levels during ageing [790], though HMGB2 has not been directly related to human ageing.
