MCCC2: A Protein Involved in Cell Adhesion, Migration and Signaling Pathways
MCCC2: A Protein Involved in Cell Adhesion, Migration and Signaling Pathways
MCCC2 (MCCB_HUMAN), a protein encoded by the human gene MMP2, is a member of the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein family. ECM proteins play a vital role in cell-cell and cell-tissue interactions, as well as in the development and maintenance of tissues and organs. MCCC2 is a 21-kDa protein that is expressed in various tissues and organs, including heart, blood vessels, kidneys, liver, and pancreas.
MCCC2 is involved in the regulation of cell adhesion, migration, and invasion. It is a critical regulator of the process of cell-cell adhesion, which is a complex process that involves the interaction of various proteins that help to maintain the integrity of the cell and allow it to function properly. MCCC2 is involved in this process by interacting with several different proteins, including the cadherin protein.
MCCC2 is also involved in the regulation of cell migration and invasion. During the development of tissues and organs, cells are essential for the formation of new tissues and organs, and MCCC2 plays a critical role in this process. It is involved in the regulation of cell migration, which is the movement of cells from one location to another in the body. MCCC2 is also involved in the regulation of cell invasion, which is the ability of cells to enter into foreign tissues and organs.
MCCC2 is also involved in the regulation of cellular signaling pathways. It is a signaling molecule that can interact with a variety of different proteins, including transcription factors, intercellular signaling molecules, and intracellular signaling molecules. MCCC2 is involved in several different signaling pathways, including the TGF-β signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway.
MCCC2 is a potential drug target for several different diseases. For example, it is involved in the development and maintenance of cancer, and it has been shown to be involved in the regulation of cancer cell growth and survival. MCCC2 is also involved in the regulation of fibrosis, which is the thickening of connective tissue that can lead to a variety of diseases, including heart failure, lung disease, and diabetes.
MCCC2 is also a potential biomarker for several different diseases. For example, it has been shown to be involved in the development and progression of cancer, and it may be a useful biomarker for cancer diagnosis and treatment. MCCC2 levels have also been shown to be involved in several diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and liver disease.
In conclusion, MCCC2 is a protein that is involved in several different processes in the body, including cell adhesion, migration, and signaling pathways. It is a potential drug target and biomarker for several different diseases. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of MCCC2 in the regulation of these processes and to develop effective treatments for these diseases.
Protein Name: Methylcrotonyl-CoA Carboxylase Subunit 2
Functions: Carboxyltransferase subunit of the 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA to 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA, a critical step for leucine and isovaleric acid catabolism
