Disco interacting protein 2 homolog c

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Disco interacting protein 2 homolog c (also known as DIP2C) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DIP2C gene. This protein is part of the DIP2 family of proteins, which are characterized by a highly conserved DIP2 domain.

Function[edit | edit source]

The DIP2C protein is believed to play a role in cellular differentiation and development. It is also thought to be involved in DNA methylation, a process that is crucial for gene expression and regulation.

Structure[edit | edit source]

The DIP2C protein is a large protein, consisting of 1,509 amino acids. It contains a DIP2 domain, which is highly conserved among all members of the DIP2 family. This domain is thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions.

Clinical significance[edit | edit source]

Mutations in the DIP2C gene have been associated with various types of cancer, including breast cancer and lung cancer. These mutations often result in a loss of function of the DIP2C protein, which can lead to abnormal cell growth and proliferation.
