PRR34
Description
The PRR34 (PRR34 long non-coding RNA) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 22.
PRR34 is a gene that encodes a protein known as proline-rich receptor-like protein kinase 34. This protein is a member of the PRR family, which are known for their roles in cell signaling and development. PRR34 is highly expressed in the brain, suggesting a role in neuronal function. Studies have linked PRR34 to the regulation of neuronal development and synaptic plasticity, the process by which connections between neurons strengthen or weaken. Additionally, PRR34 has been implicated in the response to stress and injury, indicating its potential involvement in cellular protection and repair. Mutations in PRR34 have been associated with intellectual disability and autism, highlighting its importance for normal brain function.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the proline-rich receptor-like protein kinase (PRR) family. This gene is highly expressed in the brain and is thought to play a role in the regulation of neuronal development and synaptic plasticity. It may also be involved in the response to stress and injury. Mutations in this gene have been associated with intellectual disability and autism.
PRR34 is also known as C22orf26.
