SUZ12

SUZ12 is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating gene activity within cells. It is part of a larger complex called Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), which helps keep certain genes turned off when they are not needed. This regulation is vital for normal development, cell differentiation, and maintaining cell identity. When SUZ12 works properly, it contributes to the proper functioning of genes; however, mutations or abnormalities in SUZ12 can be linked to various diseases, including cancers, by disrupting normal gene regulation processes.
