AMICA1
Description
The AMICA1 gene, also known as Amitosis-Inducing Factor 1, plays a crucial role in regulating cell division and maintaining genomic stability. It encodes a protein that interacts with other cellular components to ensure proper chromosome segregation during mitosis. AMICA1 is essential for the formation of the mitotic spindle, a structure that separates chromosomes into daughter cells, and its dysfunction can lead to errors in cell division, ultimately contributing to the development of various diseases.
Associated Diseases
