LOC146880
Loc146880: An Emerging Star in Cancer Management
Description
Loc146880, also known as the retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 (RIG-1), is a critical protein involved in the body's innate immune response against viral infections. It is an RNA-binding protein that recognizes specific sequences of viral RNA, triggering an antiviral response that leads to the production of antiviral proteins and immune signaling molecules.
Associated Diseases
Loc146880 has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including:
- Viral infections: Loc146880 plays a crucial role in the detection and clearance of viral infections, including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and hepatitis C virus (HCV).
- Cancer: Emerging evidence suggests that Loc146880 can modulate cancer progression and therapy responses. It has been linked to tumor suppression, immune surveillance, and resistance to chemotherapy.
Did you Know ?
Studies have shown that approximately 25% of patients with certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer and lung cancer, have alterations in the Loc146880 gene, which may impact their response to treatment and prognosis.
