PCID2

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

PCID2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCID2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the TRAP (TRanscription factor II A-associated Protein) complex, which is involved in transcription and translation processes.

Function[edit | edit source]

The PCID2 protein is a part of the TRAP complex that is associated with the RNA polymerase II complex. This complex plays a crucial role in the transcription process, where it helps in the conversion of DNA into RNA. The PCID2 protein is essential for the proper functioning of this complex.

Clinical Significance[edit | edit source]

Mutations in the PCID2 gene have been associated with various diseases. For example, a study found that a mutation in this gene was linked to a rare form of intellectual disability. However, more research is needed to fully understand the role of PCID2 in human health and disease.
