The Lipid Elongation Enzyme ELOVL2 is a molecular regulator of aging in the retina

2019-10-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Methylation of the regulatory region of the Elongation Of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids-Like 2 ( ELOVL2 ) gene, an enzyme involved in elongation of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, is one of the most robust biomarkers of human age, but the critical question of whether ELOVL2 plays a functional role in molecular aging has not been resolved. Here, we report that Elovl2 regulates age-associ...
