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.
