GenAge entry for IL7R (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 27)

HGNC symbol
IL7R 
Aliases
CD127 
Common name
interleukin 7 receptor 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

IL7R is involved in inflammation and immune response. Though a role in human ageing has not been demonstrated, it is possible that IL7R is related to age-related changes and pathologies, namely, at the level of the immune system [296].
