GenAge entry for PON1 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 142)

HGNC symbol
PON1 
Aliases
ESA; PON 
Common name
paraoxonase 1 

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

PON1 hydrolyzes toxic compounds and is associated with high-density lipoproteins. Mice without PON1 are more susceptible to some toxic agents and, when fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, display atherosclerosis [708]. Allelic variants in the human PON1 gene have been linked to longevity [706] and neurodegenerative diseases [707]. A role in human ageing is possible even if unverified.
