AJUBA
Description
The AJUBA gene encodes a protein that plays a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways, particularly those involved in cell growth, migration, and adhesion. This protein interacts with various other molecules, including proteins involved in cytoskeletal organization, cell cycle regulation, and DNA damage response. AJUBA‘s influence extends to developmental processes, contributing to the formation of tissues and organs. Understanding the intricate functions of AJUBA is essential for comprehending normal development and uncovering the mechanisms underlying various diseases.
