GenAge entry for MAP3K5 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 179)

HGNC symbol: MAP3K5
Aliases: MAPKKK5; ASK1; MEKK5
Common name: mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5

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: MAP3K5, also called ASK1, is involved in stress response and apoptosis [999]. Disruption of MAP3K5 in mice attenuates left ventricular remodelling [1723]. It is possible that MAP3K5 is related to age-related changes in stress response witnessed in a number of animal models. MAP3K5 has not been directly linked to human ageing.
