Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

Involved in DNA processing, FEN1 has been associated with cancer progression [586]. A FEN1 role in ageing is unknown, but due to its interactions with WRN [584] and PCNA [588], FEN1 might, in theory, be involved in human ageing.
