NMP-7

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

NMP-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NMP7 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the nucleotide-binding proteins family. This family includes several other proteins that bind nucleotides and have different functions in the cell.

Function[edit | edit source]

The NMP7 gene encodes a protein that is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. This protein is thought to play a role in the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. It may also be involved in the regulation of DNA replication and DNA repair.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Mutations in the NMP7 gene have been associated with several types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. These mutations may lead to abnormal cell proliferation and increased risk of cancer development.
