A family of structurally-related DNA helicases that play an essential role in the maintenance of genome integrity. RecQ helicases were originally discovered in E COLI and are highly conserved across both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Genetic mutations that result in loss of RecQ helicase activity gives rise to disorders that are associated with CANCER predisposition and premature aging.
Recq Helicases has been studied across 7 research domains including ⏳ Longevity & Aging, 🔬 Oncology, 🧘 Stress & Anxiety, ⚡ Energy & Fatigue, 😴 Sleep. The primary research focus is ⏳ Longevity & Aging with 20% of studies addressing this area.
This evidence profile for Recq Helicases is generated deterministically from 300 PubMed-indexed studies. All data is corpus-verified with Merkle proofs. BiohacksAI does not provide medical advice. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.
