Family with sequence similarity 177 member A1 (FAM177A1) is a
protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residue (biochemistry), residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including Enzyme catalysis, catalysing metab ...
that in humans is encoded by the ''FAM177A1''
gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity. The molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protei ...
, previously known as C14orf24. The other member of this family is
FAM177B.
Function
FAM177A1 has been linked to immune system regulation and to neurogenesis.
Interactions
IntActreports physical interactions between FAM117A1 and these other human proteins:
*
Aquaporin-6
*
Caspase 6
Caspase-6 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''CASP6'' gene.
''CASP6'' orthologs have been identified in numerous mammals for which complete genome data are available. Unique orthologs are also present in birds, lizards, lissamphibians, ...
