FAM13B
FAM13B
FAM13B is a gene that encodes a protein known as family with sequence similarity 13 member B. This gene is located on chromosome 2 in humans. The protein encoded by FAM13B is involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, proliferation, and migration.
Function[edit | edit source]
The exact function of FAM13B is not yet fully understood. However, studies have suggested that it may play a role in regulating cell growth and survival. Additionally, FAM13B has been implicated in the development of certain diseases, such as cancer.
Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]
Mutations in the FAM13B gene have been associated with an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. Research is ongoing to further investigate the role of FAM13B in cancer development and progression.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
FAM13B has been found to interact with other proteins involved in cellular signaling pathways. These interactions may be important for the proper functioning of FAM13B in regulating cell processes.
