FAM98A also known as Family with Sequence Similarity 98 Member A is a cytoplasmic protein with a mass of approximately 26 kDa. This protein shows expression in various tissues including the brain and liver. It functions mechanically in processes involving RNA contributing to RNA-binding activities although the specific details of its RNA interactions remain to be fully understood.
Biological function summary
This protein acts within a larger multi-protein complex affecting cellular and molecular functions that are important for proper cell regulation. It participates in processes like gene expression modulation although the precise scope of its biological roles is still under investigation. FAM98A also appears to engage in interactions influencing cell cycle regulation which highlights its importance in maintaining cell stability.
Pathways
FAM98A integrates into significant cellular pathways such as TOR signaling and may also influence mitotic processes. It interacts with proteins like the RACK1 scaffolding protein suggesting a role in protein translation and signaling pathways. These interactions position FAM98A within important circuits that oversee cell growth and proliferation.
Changes in FAM98A function or expression could contribute to cancer and neurological disorders reflecting its involvement in cell cycle and regulatory processes. For instance in certain cancers its altered interaction with proteins like RACK1 may impact tumor progression. Meanwhile in neurological disorders disruptions in its RNA-binding role might link to dysregulation of neuronal functions. Further research could open additional insights into these associations.
