Potential relevance to the human ageing process
- Main reason for selection
- Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
- Description
PCMT1 is involved in the repair and degradation of damaged proteins. Overexpression of a PCMT1 homologue in fruit flies extends lifespan in a temperature-dependent fashion [211]. PCMT1-deficient mice die at about 42 days after birth, though without signs of premature ageing [760]. Although an age-related accumulation of defective proteins has been suggested as a factor in ageing, further research is needed to assess PCMT1's role, if any, in mammalian ageing.
