Symbol: Cisd2 Name: CDGSH iron sulfur domain 2 Alias: CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2 Entrez gene ID: 67006 Ensembl gene ID: ENSMUSG00000028165 Species: Mouse (Taxid: 10090) Functional description: mitochondria integrity and auophagy ; Regulator of autophagy that contributes to antagonize BECN1-mediated cellular autophagy at the endoplasmic reticulum. Participates in the interaction of BCL2 with BECN1 and is required for BCL2-mediated depression of endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores during autophagy. Contributes to BIK-initiated autophagy, while it is not involved in BIK-dependent activation of caspases. Involved in life span control, probably via its function as regulator of autophagy (By similarity). [UniProt] Observation: Cisd2 knockouts expire premature ageing and reduced lifespan [19451219]. A persistent level of Cisd2 achieved by transgenic expression extends mean, median and maximum lifespan without any apparent deleterious side effects [22661501].
