CD101

CD101 is a gene that encodes a protein called a transporter, which plays a crucial role in moving molecules across cell membranes. It belongs to the SLC (solute carrier) family and is involved in transporting amino acids, peptides, and other small molecules essential for cellular function. Variations or mutations in CD101 have been linked to certain immune system disorders and susceptibility to infections. Understanding CD101 helps scientists learn more about how our cells communicate and maintain balance, potentially aiding in the development of targeted therapies for immune-related conditions.
