Cgi121

CGI-121 is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the coiled-coil domain containing protein family. The protein produced by CGI-121 is thought to be involved in various cellular processes, although its precise function is still under investigation. Research has suggested potential roles in apoptosis, cell proliferation, and DNA repair.

The CGI-121 gene is located on human chromosome 19. Variations or mutations in this gene have been explored in the context of certain diseases, with some studies indicating a possible association with specific types of cancer. However, more research is needed to fully understand the implications of these genetic alterations.

Studies on CGI-121 have utilized various molecular biology techniques, including gene expression analysis and protein interaction studies, to elucidate its cellular functions. The coiled-coil domains present in the protein are often involved in protein-protein interactions, suggesting that CGI-121 may act as a scaffold or mediator in protein complexes. Further investigation is ongoing to identify specific binding partners and unravel the complete signaling pathways in which CGI-121 participates.
