LongevityMap variant
- Longevity Association
- Significant
- Population
- Italian (Sicily)
- Study Design
- The promoter T(-107)C and coding region Gln192Arg (Q192R) and Leu55Met (L55M) polymorphisms were examined in 100 healthy octogenarians and 200 adults
- Conclusions
- Octagenerians displayed significant higher levels of PON1 activity and had an higher percentage of (-107)CC compared with controls. No difference in the L55M and Q192R genotypes distribution was found in both groups.

- Aliases
- ESA; PON; MVCD5
- Common name
- paraoxonase 1
- Description
- The enzyme encoded by this gene is an arylesterase that mainly hydrolyzes paroxon to produce p-nitrophenol. Paroxon is an organophosphorus anticholinesterase compound that is produced in vivo by oxidation of the insecticide parathion. Polymorphisms in this gene are a risk factor in coronary artery disease. The gene is found in a cluster of three related paraoxonase genes at 7q21.3. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
