GenAge entry for PEX5 (Homo sapiens)
Gene name (HAGRID: 58)
- HGNC symbol
- PEX5
- Aliases

- Common name
- peroxisomal biogenesis factor 5
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
A peroxisome receptor, PEX5 has been associated with genes and pathways previously related to ageing, such as ATM [994]. An involvement in cellular senescence has also been suggested [402]. Nonetheless, a direct role of PEX5 in human ageing has not been demonstrated.
