HS1BP3

HS1BP3 or HS1-binding protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HS1BP3 gene. This protein is involved in various cellular processes, including cell signaling, apoptosis, and cell migration.

Function

HS1BP3 is a binding protein that interacts with the HS1 protein, a key component of the immune system. This interaction is believed to play a role in the regulation of lymphocyte activation and proliferation.

HS1BP3 also has a role in apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It is thought to regulate the process by interacting with caspase enzymes, which are responsible for initiating apoptosis.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the HS1BP3 gene have been associated with various medical conditions. For example, a mutation in this gene has been linked to autosomal recessive congenital cataract, a condition characterized by clouding of the lens of the eye present at birth or shortly thereafter.
