GenAge entry for RPA1 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 67)

HGNC symbol: RPA1
Aliases: REPA1; RPA70; HSSB; RF-A; RP-A
Common name: replication protein A1, 70kDa

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: RPA1 is involved in replication, recombination, and DNA repair. Due to its involvement with ageing-related genes, such as WRN [441], RPA1 has been hinted as a player in the ageing process. Nonetheless, there is no direct evidence that RPA1 is linked to human ageing.
