CPT1A (Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1)

CPT1A, or Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 1, is a protein found on the surface of certain cells. It plays a role in helping cells stick together and communicate, which is important for normal bodily functions. In some cases, CPT1A levels can be linked to certain diseases, including cancer and metabolic disorders. Scientists study it to better understand these conditions and develop targeted treatments. Overall, CPT1A is part of the complex system that maintains cell organization and function within the body.
