GIMAP5
Description
GIMAP5 (GTPase, IMAP Family, Member 5) is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the immunity-associated GTPase (IMAP) family. These proteins are involved in various cellular processes, including immune responses, cell death, and intracellular signaling. GIMAP5, in particular, plays a crucial role in regulating T cell development and function. It also participates in the apoptotic pathway, contributing to the controlled death of cells. The gene is expressed in various tissues, with particularly high levels found in immune cells.
