Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence directly linking the gene product to ageing in a mammalian model organism
Description

NCOR2, also known as SMRT, is a transcriptional corepressor that maintains the transcriptional silencing of certain target genes. NCOR2 expression and its occupancy on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) target gene promoters are increased with age in major metabolic tissues. Shifting its repressive activity towards PPARs, by selectively disabling one of its two major receptor-interacting domains, resulted in premature ageing in mice and related metabolic diseases accompanied by reduced mitochondrial function and antioxidant gene expression. Additionally, in a preliminary analysis, several human polymorphisms were found to be associated with type 2 diabetes [2196].
