ING1

Description

The ING1 gene encodes a tumor suppressor protein involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and DNA damage repair. ING1 protein interacts with numerous other proteins, forming complexes that regulate gene expression and cellular responses to stress. It plays a crucial role in preventing uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation.

Associated Diseases

• Cancer (various types, including breast, lung, and colorectal cancers)
• Neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer‘s disease)
• Cardiovascular diseases

Did you know?

ING1 gene expression is often downregulated in cancer cells, suggesting its potential role as a therapeutic target.
