AIM1L
Description
AIM1L, also known as the AIM1-like gene, is a fascinating and relatively new player in the complex world of immunology. This gene encodes a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the innate immune response, a critical first line of defense against invading pathogens. AIM1L is known to interact with other immune components, including the inflammasome, a multi-protein complex that triggers the release of inflammatory cytokines. While its exact mechanisms are still being investigated, research suggests that AIM1L may influence the body‘s response to various infections and inflammatory conditions.
