CTAPHID

CTAPHID is a protein found in humans and other mammals. It is encoded by the CTAPHID gene. This protein is believed to play a role in the development and function of the cardiovascular system. Specifically, research suggests that CTAPHID is involved in the regulation of cardiac muscle contraction and the maintenance of heart rhythm. Mutations in the CTAPHID gene have been linked to certain congenital heart defects, indicating its critical importance during embryonic development. The precise molecular mechanisms by which CTAPHID exerts its effects are still an active area of research, but it is thought to interact with other proteins involved in cytoskeletal organization and signaling pathways within cardiac cells. Further investigation is ongoing to fully understand the physiological roles of CTAPHID and its implications in cardiovascular diseases.
