FAT1


Description

The FAT1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called FAT1. This protein is a large, transmembrane protein that plays a critical role in cell-cell adhesion, a process essential for tissue development and function. FAT1 helps cells connect to each other and form strong, organized tissues. It also participates in signaling pathways that regulate cell growth, differentiation, and migration. Mutations in the FAT1 gene can disrupt these processes, leading to various developmental and disease conditions.
