FAM86DP: A Protein Involved in Cell Signaling and Cancer Development

FAM86DP (FAM86D) is a protein that is expressed in various tissues of the body, including the brain, heart, and kidneys. It is a member of the FAM (FAM1-ASF/AFB1) family of proteins, which are known for their role in cell signaling and inflammation.

One of the unique features of FAM86DP is its ability to interact with the protein PDGF-BB (Platelet-derived growth factor-basic), which is a key regulator of cell growth and differentiation. This interaction between FAM86DP and PDGF-BB has been shown to play a role in the development and progression of various diseases, including cancer.

In addition to its interaction with PDGF-BB, FAM86DP has also been shown to interact with several other proteins, including the transcription factor NF-kappa-B (nuclear factor kappa B). This interaction between FAM86DP and NF-kappa-B has been shown to play a role in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses.

FAM86DP has also been shown to be involved in the regulation of cell death, as it has been shown to interact with the protein Bcl-2 (B cell lymphoma 2). This interaction between FAM86DP and Bcl-2 has been shown to play a role in the regulation of cell survival and the risk of cancer.

In conclusion, FAM86DP is a protein that has been shown to interact with several key regulators of cell signaling and development, including PDGF-BB, NF-kappa-B, and Bcl-2. These interactions have been shown to play a role in the regulation of various diseases, including cancer and immune responses. As a potential drug target, FAM86DP may be a valuable target for the development of new therapies for these and other diseases.
