ANKRD32
Description
ANKRD32 (Ankyrin Repeat Domain 32) is a gene that encodes a protein involved in various cellular processes, including protein-protein interactions, signal transduction, and cell cycle regulation. Its ankyrin repeat domains allow it to bind to other proteins, facilitating these functions. Mutations in the ANKRD32 gene have been linked to several diseases, including developmental disorders, cancers, and neurological conditions.
