SCARF2
Description
SCARF2, also known as SCAF2, is a gene that encodes a scaffolding protein involved in various cellular processes, particularly in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. This protein interacts with various signaling pathways, including the Hippo pathway, which plays a crucial role in controlling organ size and preventing tumor formation. SCARF2 contributes to the assembly and activation of protein complexes, facilitating the coordination of cellular activities and responses to environmental cues. Mutations in SCARF2 have been linked to various developmental and disease conditions, highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
