PRDM8
Description
The PRDM8 gene encodes a protein known as PRDM8, a transcription factor with a pivotal role in regulating immune responses and influencing cancer development. It is involved in the differentiation and function of various immune cells, including T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. PRDM8‘s activity is tightly controlled, and its dysregulation can lead to immune system imbalances and contribute to the progression of certain cancers. Research into PRDM8‘s functions has revealed its multifaceted nature and its potential as a therapeutic target.
