JAGN1
Description
The JAGN1 gene, located on chromosome 11, encodes a protein involved in various developmental processes, particularly in the nervous system and cardiovascular system. JAGN1 protein is a transmembrane receptor that interacts with other proteins, influencing cell signaling pathways critical for growth, differentiation, and tissue formation. Its role in regulating cell-cell communication makes it crucial for establishing proper tissue architecture and function. Mutations in JAGN1 have been linked to developmental abnormalities, highlighting its importance in human health.
