RBBP8

RBBP8, also known as Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 8, is a protein encoded by the RBBP8 gene. This gene is located on chromosome 18 in humans. The RBBP8 protein plays a role in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and transcriptional regulation. It is involved in the response to DNA damage, where it interacts with other proteins to facilitate the repair of damaged DNA. Additionally, RBBP8 has been implicated in the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. Its function in transcriptional regulation suggests it can influence the expression of other genes. Dysregulation of RBBP8 has been observed in certain cancers, indicating its potential involvement in tumorigenesis. Research into RBBP8 continues to explore its precise molecular mechanisms and its implications in health and disease.
