A2ML1
Description
The A2ML1 gene, located on chromosome 17, encodes a protein known as ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, like 1. This protein plays a crucial role in neuronal development and function, particularly in the regulation of synapse formation and plasticity. A2ML1 interacts with various signaling pathways and cellular components, contributing to the complex processes involved in brain development and cognitive function.
