P2F7

P2F7 is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the basketin family. Basketins are a conserved family of proteins involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion and tissue development. The P2F7 protein is characterized by its multiple transmembrane domains and its association with cell membranes. Research suggests that P2F7 plays a role in regulating cell-cell interactions and may be involved in signal transduction pathways. Its precise function is still under investigation, but studies indicate potential involvement in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. Mutations or altered expression of P2F7 have been linked to certain developmental disorders, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. The protein's expression patterns have been observed in various tissues, with notable presence during specific developmental stages. Further research is ongoing to elucidate the full spectrum of P2F7's biological activities and its implications in health and disease.
