Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description

Also known as NFKB3, RELA is a component of the NF-kappa-B complex, involved in oxidative pathways and a myriad of other processes. Its role in ageing is unclear, but the NF-kappa-B complex appears to be important in age-related changes in inflammation and maybe in other age-related processes too [260]. In addition, age-related changes in NF-kappa-B have been reported in numerous tissues [261]. Mice without RELA die at embryonic stages [712].
