TBC1D2B
Description
The TBC1D2B gene, also known as TBC1 domain family member 2B, plays a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways and immune regulation. It encodes a protein that acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP), specifically targeting the Rab GTPase family. This interaction allows TBC1D2B to control the trafficking of vesicles and proteins within cells, influencing processes like cell growth, differentiation, and immune response. Mutations in TBC1D2B have been linked to a variety of diseases, highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
