PEG3350
Description
The PEG3350 gene, also known as Protein Encoded by Gene 3350, plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including cell growth and differentiation. Located on chromosome 19, it encodes a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 33.5 kDa. The gene's expression is tightly regulated during development and is often dysregulated in various disease states. This article delves into the intricacies of PEG3350, exploring its functions, associated diseases, and ongoing research.
Associated Diseases
- Cancer (particularly breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers)
- Neurodevelopmental disorders (including autism spectrum disorder)
- Cardiovascular diseases
Did you know?
PEG3350 has been shown to be a potential target for therapeutic interventions in cancer, particularly due to its role in tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
