ZMPSTE24 Is Associated with Elevated Inflammation and Progerin mRNA

Lamins are important filaments forming the inner nuclear membrane. Lamin A is processed by zinc metalloproteinase (ZMPSTE24). Failure to cleave a truncated form of prelamin A—also called progerin—causes Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome a well-known premature aging disease. Minor levels of proger...
