TACO1
Description
The TACO1 gene encodes for the trans-activation-competent co-activator 1 protein, a crucial factor in regulating gene expression. TACO1 acts as a bridge between transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery, influencing the production of proteins involved in a wide array of biological processes. Its role is particularly significant in the immune system, where it modulates the activity of immune cells and contributes to inflammation. TACO1 also plays a role in cell growth and development, suggesting its potential involvement in cancer.
