B9D1
Description
The B9D1 gene, also known as the ‘B9 domain containing 1‘ gene, plays a crucial role in cell division and development. It encodes a protein that interacts with other proteins involved in the regulation of the cell cycle, specifically the G2/M transition. This transition is a critical checkpoint where the cell ensures its DNA is properly replicated before entering mitosis. Mutations in the B9D1 gene can disrupt this process, leading to various developmental abnormalities and diseases.
