ANKS6
Description
ANKS6, or Ankyrin Repeat Domain 6, is a gene that encodes a protein with a crucial role in cell function. The protein contains ankyrin repeat domains, which are involved in protein-protein interactions and play a vital role in diverse cellular processes. ANKS6 has been implicated in various cellular events including signal transduction, cytoskeletal organization, and protein trafficking. Its involvement in these processes makes it a key player in maintaining cellular homeostasis and contributing to normal cell function.
Associated Diseases
- Neurological Disorders: Studies have linked ANKS6 mutations to a variety of neurological disorders, including intellectual disability, epilepsy, and autism spectrum disorder.
- Cancer: Emerging research suggests that ANKS6 may play a role in the development and progression of certain cancers.
- Immune System Disorders: Some studies indicate a potential connection between ANKS6 and immune system dysfunction.
Did you know?
ANKS6 is highly expressed in the brain, particularly in areas associated with learning and memory.
