GenAge entry for PCK1 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 248)

HGNC symbol: PCK1
Aliases: PEPCK-C
Common name: phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (soluble)

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: PCK1 is involved in the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Mice with PCK1 overexpressed in skeletal muscle were more active than controls and had an enhanced exercise capacity with an increased number of mitochondria. These mice ate more than controls, but had half the body weight and 10% the body fat. They were also reported to be long-lived [1839], though detailed ageing studies have not been conducted yet.
