APBA2
Description
The APBA2 gene, provides instructions for making the amyloid beta precursor protein-binding, family A, member 2 (APBA2) protein. This protein plays a crucial role in the formation and function of synapses, the junctions where nerve cells communicate. APBA2 interacts with various proteins involved in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Mutations in the APBA2 gene have been linked to several neurological disorders, highlighting its importance in brain function.
