CTN11

CTN11 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cell adhesion. The protein is a transmembrane component of cadherin-related cell junctions. These junctions are crucial for maintaining tissue integrity and facilitating cell-to-cell communication. The CTN11 protein is thought to play a role in various cellular processes including cell migration, differentiation, and embryonic development. Mutations or alterations in the CTN11 gene have been associated with certain human diseases, although the exact mechanisms are still under investigation. Research into CTN11 is ongoing to fully understand its functions and its implications in health and disease. Its precise role in different cell types and tissues is an active area of scientific inquiry.
