BBIP1
Description
The BBIP1 gene, also known as the ‘Binding Protein Interacting with Protein 1‘ gene, plays a vital role in cellular communication and function. It encodes a protein that interacts with a variety of other proteins, acting as a crucial intermediary in signaling pathways. BBIP1 is involved in various cellular processes, including protein trafficking, signal transduction, and cell cycle regulation. Its proper functioning is essential for maintaining normal cellular processes and preventing disease.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer: Dysregulation of BBIP1 has been linked to the development and progression of various cancers, including breast, colon, and lung cancer.
- Neurological Disorders: BBIP1 dysfunction has been implicated in neurological conditions like Alzheimer‘s disease and Parkinson‘s disease.
- Immune System Dysfunction: Mutations in the BBIP1 gene can lead to impaired immune function, increasing susceptibility to infections and autoimmune diseases.
Did you know?
The BBIP1 gene is highly conserved across various species, suggesting its crucial role in fundamental cellular processes.
