CNOT8
Description
The CNOT8 gene, also known as CCR4-NOT transcription complex subunit 8, plays a critical role in regulating gene expression. It encodes a protein that is part of the CCR4-NOT complex, a multi-protein complex involved in mRNA degradation and translation. This complex is crucial for proper cell division, growth, and development. CNOT8 exerts its influence by affecting the stability and translation of various mRNAs, ultimately impacting the expression of downstream genes. Mutations in the CNOT8 gene can disrupt these processes, leading to a range of health issues.
