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

The Nuclear Factor, Erythroid 2-Like 1 (NFE2L1), is involved in globin gene expression in erythrocytes. Overexpressing SKN-1, one of its ortholog genes, in worms has been reported to mildly extend lifespan (by 5-20%) [2497]. Contrastly, RNA interference in SKN-1 prevents the life-extension effects of caloric restriction [2360] and it was shown that SKN-1 is involved in the insulin/IGF-1 signaling, being necessary for the DAF-16/DAF-2 lifespan extension pathway [3650].
