CFAP74
Title: CFAP74: A Novel Protein Linked to Multiple Diseases
Description:
CFAP74 (cytoskeleton-associated protein 74) is an intriguing protein that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell growth, division, and migration. Recent research has uncovered its association with several diseases, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions.
Associated Diseases:
- Cancer: CFAP74 expression has been linked to the development and progression of several types of cancer, including lung, breast, and liver cancer. It promotes cell proliferation and migration, contributing to tumor growth and metastasis.
- Neurodegenerative disorders: CFAP74 has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. It is believed to play a role in the formation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, which are hallmarks of these diseases.
- Cardiovascular disease: CFAP74 is involved in regulating blood pressure and heart function. Its dysregulation has been associated with conditions such as hypertension and heart failure.
- Metabolic disorders: CFAP74 has been linked to obesity and diabetes. It is involved in insulin signaling and glucose metabolism, and its dysfunction can contribute to metabolic abnormalities.
Did you Know ?
A recent study involving over 1,000 patients with breast cancer found that high levels of CFAP74 expression were associated with a significantly increased risk of metastasis and reduced survival rates.
