BACH2
Description
The BACH2 gene encodes a transcription factor that plays a vital role in regulating the development and function of immune cells, particularly B cells and T cells. It acts as a key regulator of various immune processes, including antibody production, inflammation, and immune tolerance. BACH2‘s intricate role in the immune system makes it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in various immune-related diseases.
