KY
Description
The KY gene, also known as KIAA0101, is a crucial gene involved in regulating cell division and development. It encodes a protein that plays a role in the formation of the spindle apparatus, a critical structure that ensures accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. Disruptions in KY gene function can lead to developmental abnormalities and cancer. While its precise mechanism of action is still under investigation, the KY gene is recognized as a significant player in cellular processes and a potential target for therapeutic intervention.
