ADDB1

ADDB1 is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called beta-1 domain-containing protein 1. This protein is involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation. It is found in many tissues throughout the body, with particularly high levels in the brain and skeletal muscle.

Research suggests that ADDB1 plays a role in the development and function of the nervous system. It is thought to be important for the formation of neural connections and the regulation of neuronal activity. In skeletal muscle, ADDB1 may contribute to muscle growth and repair.

Alterations in the ADDB1 gene have been associated with certain medical conditions. For instance, variations in ADDB1 have been linked to an increased risk of developing some types of cancer, although the exact mechanisms are still being investigated. Studies have also explored its potential involvement in neurological disorders, but more research is needed to establish definitive links. The precise functions of ADDB1 and its contribution to disease remain active areas of scientific inquiry.
