CENTD2

CENTD2 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cellular processes. This gene is located on chromosome 1 in humans.

Function[edit | edit source]

The protein encoded by CENTD2 is a member of the centaurin gamma-like family. It plays a role in regulating membrane trafficking and actin cytoskeleton dynamics. CENTD2 is involved in processes such as cell migration and cell adhesion.

Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]

Mutations in the CENTD2 gene have been associated with certain diseases, including neurological disorders and cancer. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these mutations on human health.

Interactions[edit | edit source]

CENTD2 has been found to interact with other proteins involved in cellular signaling pathways. These interactions contribute to the protein's role in regulating various cellular processes.
