Poly(adp-ribose) polymerase family member 14

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia


Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member 14 (PARP14) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PARP14 gene. This protein is a member of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) family, which is involved in a variety of cellular processes such as DNA repair, genomic stability, and programmed cell death.

Function[edit | edit source]

PARP14 is known to play a role in the regulation of gene expression and has been implicated in the immune response. It acts as a mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase, modifying target proteins by adding ADP-ribose moieties. This post-translational modification can alter the function of the target proteins, affecting various cellular pathways.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Alterations in the expression or function of PARP14 have been associated with several diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders. Research suggests that PARP14 may have a role in the progression of certain types of cancer by influencing tumor microenvironment and immune evasion.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

PARP14 interacts with various proteins involved in signal transduction and transcriptional regulation. These interactions are crucial for its role in modulating cellular responses to external stimuli.
