DDI1 (DNA-Damage Inducible 1 Homolog 1) is a protein involved in key cellular processes such as DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and the ubiquitin-proteasome system. It plays a critical role in responding to DNA damage by acting as a ubiquitin-dependent protease, helping degrade specific proteins to maintain cellular health. Due to its multifunctional roles, DDI1 is important for protecting cells from stress and may be linked to cancer and other diseases related to DNA damage and repair.

DDI1

DOCK3 (Dedicator Of Cytokinesis 3) is a protein that plays a key role in remodeling the actin cytoskeleton and regulating cell movement. It is especially important in the nervous system, where it supports neural development and synaptic function. Dysregulation of DOCK3 has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

DOCK3

FAM9A (Family with Sequence Similarity 9 Member A) is a protein-coding gene that belongs to a family of genes sharing sequence similarity. While its specific functions remain under study and are not yet fully understood, FAM9A is expressed in several tissues, including the brain, testis, and ovaries. This suggests it may play roles in important cellular processes within these organs. Genes in the FAM family often participate in cell signaling, transcription regulation, or protein interactions, though the exact functions of FAM9A continue to be researched.

FAM9A

EXTL2 (Exostosin-Like Glycosyltransferase 2) is a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in the production of heparan sulfate, a key component of the extracellular matrix. Heparan sulfate interacts with various growth factors and signaling molecules, playing important roles in cell proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. EXTL2’s function in heparan sulfate synthesis underscores its importance in development and maintaining tissue health.

EXTL2

LPP (LIM Domain Containing Preferred Translocation Partner In Lipoma) is a protein involved in regulating cell adhesion, migration, and the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. It plays a key role in forming focal adhesions and stress fibers, which connect the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. LPP’s function is essential for controlling cell movement and maintaining cellular structure. Changes in LPP have been linked to the development of lipomas and other tumors, underscoring its significance in cell biology and cancer research.

ADH1A (Alcohol Dehydrogenase 1A) is a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in the breakdown of alcohol in the liver. It catalyzes the conversion of ethanol to acetaldehyde, a key step in alcohol metabolism. Variations in ADH1A can influence how the body processes alcohol and may affect individual susceptibility to alcohol-related conditions.

ADH1A

FABP2 (Fatty Acid Binding Protein 2) is a protein involved in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA derivatives. It plays a key role in the absorption and metabolism of fatty acids within the intestine. Variations in FABP2 can impact lipid metabolism and are linked to metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity.

FABP2

FOLH1 (Folate Hydrolase 1), also known as Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA), is a gene involved in folate metabolism and the activation of folate for DNA synthesis and repair. It plays a key role in cell growth and division. FOLH1 is notably expressed in prostate cancer cells, making it a valuable target for cancer diagnosis and therapy.

FOLH1

DOCK10 (Dedicator of Cytokinesis 10) is a gene involved in actin cytoskeleton remodeling, contributing to the activation and movement of immune cells, especially T-cells and B-cells. It plays a key role in regulating immune responses and may have implications in autoimmune conditions and immune system disorders.
