GenAge entry for STK11 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 93)

HGNC symbol: STK11
Aliases: PJS; LKB1
Common name: serine/threonine kinase 11

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: The exact functions of STK11 are unknown, but it appears to be involved in TP53-related apoptosis [509]. Evidence suggests it may play a role in development, and it is clear that STK11 is related to tumour development [971]. STK11 has not been directly linked to human ageing.
