LongevityMap variant

Entry Details

Longevity Association: Non-significant
Population: Dutch
Study Design: The 1-bp guanine deletion/insertion (4G/5G) polymorphism in the promoter region was examined in 648 subjects >85 years old
Conclusions: In the cross-sectional analysis, the genotype distributions were similar in elderly and young subjects

HGNC symbol: SERPINE1
Aliases: PAI; PAI1; PAI-1; PLANH1
Common name: serpin family E member 1
Description: This gene encodes a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. This member is the principal inhibitor of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase (uPA), and hence is an inhibitor of fibrinolysis. Defects in this gene are the cause of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 deficiency (PAI-1 deficiency), and high concentrations of the gene product are associated with thrombophilia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
