HLHlike
HLHlike is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLHL gene. This gene is a member of the HLH (Helix-Loop-Helix) family of transcription factors, which play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression. The HLHlike protein is involved in various biological processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis.
The HLHL gene is located on chromosome 11 and consists of 11 exons. It encodes a protein
Mutations in the HLHL gene have been associated with several human diseases, including:
1. **Hemihypertrophy**: A rare genetic disorder characterized by the asymmetric overgrowth of one side of the
2. **Congenital heart defects**: Mutations in HLHL have been linked to various congenital heart abnormalities.
3. **Cleft lip and palate**: Some cases of cleft lip and palate have been attributed to mutations
The HLHlike protein is also involved in the development of the nervous system and has been studied
