valosin
Valosin is a protein found in humans and other organisms. It belongs to a family of proteins known as ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA+ proteins). These proteins are characterized by their ability to bind and hydrolyze adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a process that fuels various cellular functions. Valosin's primary role is in the regulation of protein degradation pathways, particularly through its association with the protein degradation machinery.
Specifically, valosin is a component of the valosin-containing protein (VCP) complex, also known as the N-terminal
Dysfunction of valosin or the VCP complex has been linked to a variety of human diseases, including
