Tiam1

Tiam1 is a protein that plays an important role in cell biology by helping cells move and grow. It acts as a regulator that activates certain molecules called small GTPases, which are like switches controlling the cell's skeleton and movement. Tiam1 is involved in processes like cell migration, adhesion, and development. While these functions are essential for healthy tissue formation and repair, abnormal Tiam1 activity can be linked to cancer progression, as it may promote cancer cell invasion and spread. Overall, Tiam1 is a key player in maintaining normal cell behavior and tissue organization.
