CUZD1
CUZD1
CUZD1 is a gene that encodes a protein known as CUB and zona pellucida-like domain-containing protein 1. This protein is involved in various biological processes, including cell adhesion and signaling. The CUZD1 gene is located on chromosome 10 in humans.
Function[edit | edit source]
The CUZD1 protein plays a role in cell adhesion by interacting with other proteins on the cell surface. It is also involved in signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and differentiation. Additionally, CUZD1 has been implicated in the development of certain types of cancer.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the CUZD1 gene have been associated with certain diseases, including cancer and inflammatory disorders. Studies have shown that abnormal expression of CUZD1 can contribute to the progression of cancer by promoting cell proliferation and invasion.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
CUZD1 has been found to interact with several other proteins in the body, including those involved in cell adhesion and signaling pathways. These interactions play a crucial role in the function of CUZD1 and its impact on cellular processes.
