Potential relevance to the human ageing process

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

PPP1CA is part of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), which is involved in different cellular processes including cell division, protein synthesis, and synaptic plasticity. It has also been associated with oncogene-induced senescence [3344]. PP1 inhibition in mice was associated with prolonged memory, and old mice had preserved memory, which suggests that PP1, including PPP1CA, could play a role in cognitive ageing [1407]. PPP1CA cardiac-specific overexpression in mice resulted in premature heart failure [1408]. Further research is necessary to establish whether PPP1CA is related to human ageing.
