ASXL Family Proteins

ASXL family proteins (including ASXL1, ASXL2, and ASXL3) are important regulators of gene expression in our cells. They help control how DNA is read and used to make proteins, influencing key processes like development and cell growth. By working with other molecules, ASXL proteins modulate the activity of genes, ensuring proper function and preventing abnormalities. Mutations or dysfunction in these proteins can lead to developmental disorders or cancers, highlighting their critical role in maintaining healthy cellular activity.
