A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name 4977-bp deletion
Type somatic mutation
Species Homo sapiens
Tissue lung
Experiment Method reverse-phase
Up/Down NA
Pro/Anti Pro
Funtion Description Taken together, these results suggest that accumulation of mtDNA with the 4977-bp deletion together with oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxides is associated with aging and that smoking enhances oxidative damage in human lung tissues.
Regulation Gene 4977-bp
