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 mammalian model organism
Description: TP63 is a homologue of TP53 that plays a role in development and oncogenesis by regulating proliferation and differentiation [1487]. This gene encodes several isoforms whose expression differs between tissues. TP63-null mice have major developmental defects [1489] and stem cells lacking p63 undergo a premature proliferative rundown in stratified epithelia [3669]. Heterozygous TP63 mice have a reduced lifespan (over 20% shorter than controls) and exhibit signs of premature ageing [1491]. Mutations in TP63 in humans have been associated with several disorders, including EEC which is characterized by ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia, and facial clefts [1488]. Corneal dystrophy and premature menopause have also been associated with a mutation in TP63 [1942].
