Target Name: ACTL9

NCBI ID: G284382

Function and role of Actinin-family protein ACTL9

ACTL9 (ACTL7C) is a protein that is expressed in various tissues of the body, including the brain, heart, and kidneys. It is a member of the actinin family, which is known for their role in cell-cell adhesion and cytoskeletal organization.

Recent studies have identified ACTL9 as a potential drug target for various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune disorders. This is due to its unique structure and the various functions that it is known to play in the body.

One of the key functions of ACTL9 is its role in cell-cell adhesion. This is important for the development and maintenance of tissues, as well as for the regulation of various physiological processes. ACTL9 is known to be involved in the formation of tight junctions, which are the gaps that form between cells and are essential for proper communication and signaling.

In addition to its role in cell-cell adhesion, ACTL9 is also involved in the regulation of cytoskeletal organization. This is important for the proper structure and function of cells, as well as for the regulation of various physiological processes. ACTL9 is known to be involved in the formation of microtubules, which are the structural elements that give cells their shape and stability.

Another function of ACTL9 is its role in the regulation of cellular signaling pathways. This is important for the development and maintenance of tissues, as well as for the regulation of various physiological processes. ACTL9 is known to be involved in the regulation of several signaling pathways, including the TGF-β pathway and the Wnt pathway.

In addition to its role in cell-cell adhesion, cytoskeletal organization, and cellular signaling pathways, ACTL9 is also involved in the regulation of inflammation. This is important for the development and maintenance of tissues, as well as for the regulation of various physiological processes. ACTL9 is known to be involved in the regulation of inflammation and the immune response.

Overall, ACTL9 is a protein that plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of tissues, as well as for the regulation of various physiological processes. As a potential drug target, ACTL9 has the potential to be used to treat a wide range of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and autoimmune disorders.
