ACR
Description
The ACR gene, also known as the Activating Transcription Factor 1 (ATF1) gene, is a vital component of the human genome, playing a crucial role in regulating gene expression. This gene is involved in numerous cellular processes, including immune response, cell growth, and development. Variations in the ACR gene have been linked to several human diseases, highlighting its significance in maintaining overall health.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (e.g., leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer)
- Autoimmune disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus)
- Neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease)
- Cardiovascular diseases (e.g., heart failure, atherosclerosis)
Did you know?
The ACR gene is highly conserved across different species, indicating its essential role in basic cellular functions.
