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

JUN is an important transcription factor that is also a member of the AP-1 transcriptional complex. Its signalling pathway has been related to ageing in fruit flies [212] and roundworms [60], though a direct role of JUN has not been demonstrated. Results from mice have shown that AP-1's DNA-binding activity decreases with age [837]. JUN-null mice die at embryonic stages [783]. Further research is needed to assess JUN'1 role in human ageing.
