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

MXI1 is an antagonist of MYC in that it competes with MYC for MAX [945]. Mice lacking MXI1 exhibit progressive, multisystem abnormalities and increased susceptibility to tumorigenesis. A role for MXI1 in murine ageing has thus been suggested [887]. Mutations in the human MXI1 gene have been linked to cancer [944]. Additional, more detailed, studies are necessary to determine whether MXI1 is related to human ageing.
