Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence directly linking the gene product to ageing in a non-mammalian animal model
Description

Also called JNK2, MAPK9 encodes many transcripts and is an important player in stress response. In invertebrates, there is evidence linking JNK signalling to ageing. Fruit flies with mutations that augment JNK signalling live longer [212]. Overexpression of JNK in roundworms also increases lifespan [60]. Mice without MAPK8 and MAPK9 die at embryonic stages. MAPK9-null mice develop normally [786], but are defective in peripheral T-cell activation [1721]. Further research is needed to determine whether MAPK9 is related to human ageing.
