A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name BKB1
Type methylation
Species Mus musculus
Tissue mesenteric arteries
Experiment Method Western blot, DNA bisulfite sequencing PCR
Up/Down Up
Pro/Anti Pro
Funtion Description aging triggered an increase in BKB1 promoter methylation in both old WKY andSHR, with concomitant suppression of theB1 subunit and BKCachannel activity. Consistently, hypertension decreased CpG methylation of the BKB1 promoter at all ages.
Regulation Gene BKB1
