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

HOXC4 is a member of the homeobox family, also called HOX, crucial in morphogenesis and development [1024]. The expression of many HOX genes, including HOXC4, declines with age, even prior to adulthood [1020]. HOXC4 also interacts with XRCC6 and PRKDC [1017]. An association of HOX genes with longevity has been proposed [1022], though there is no direct evidence linking HOXC4 to human ageing.
