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

TBP is part of the TFIID general transcription factor. Because of its central role in the activation of eukaryotic genes, TBP is potentially involved in a large variety of processes. TBP-null mice die at embryonic stages [848]. Mutations in the human TBP gene have been associated with neurological diseases [846]. Although TBP has not been directly linked to human ageing, because it is involved in so many different processes, and potentially in neurodegenerative diseases, it is possible that TBP plays some role in human ageing.
