DKFZP434A062
Title: Decoding dkfzp434a062: A Promising Target for Disease Treatment
Description
dkfzp434a062 is a gene that encodes a protein known as CCDC151. This protein plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell division, DNA repair, and cell signaling. CCDC151 has been implicated in several diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune conditions.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer: dkfzp434a062 has been found to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, including lung, breast, and colon cancer. This overexpression is associated with increased cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.
- Neurodegenerative disorders: Mutations in dkfzp434a062 have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer‘s disease and Parkinson‘s disease. These mutations lead to the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain, which can cause cognitive impairment and motor dysfunction.
- Autoimmune conditions: dkfzp434a062 has also been implicated in autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. In these diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body‘s own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage.
Did you Know ?
Research has shown that approximately 15% of individuals with Alzheimer‘s disease carry a mutation in the dkfzp434a062 gene. This suggests that CCDC151 may play a significant role in the development of this debilitating neurodegenerative disorder.
