HIGD2A

HIGD2A, also known as HAPLN3-interacting gene deleted on Y2A or Hypothetical Protein MGC137048, is a gene found on the human Y chromosome. Its primary function is not fully understood, but it is thought to be involved in cellular processes. Research suggests that HIGD2A may play a role in regulating mitochondrial function and protein homeostasis. Mutations or altered expression of HIGD2A have been linked to certain diseases, although the specific mechanisms are still under investigation. Studies have explored its potential involvement in conditions such as infertility and cancer, but more research is needed to confirm these associations and elucidate the precise biological pathways affected by this gene. The gene's location on the Y chromosome also suggests potential roles in male reproductive development and health.
