UBE3A

UBE3A is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein involved in brain development and function. It plays a key role in controlling how other proteins are broken down and recycled, helping maintain healthy neurons. In certain conditions, like Angelman syndrome, a genetic disorder, the UBE3A gene is missing or inactive, leading to developmental delay, speech issues, and motor challenges. Proper functioning of UBE3A is essential for normal brain activity, and its imbalance can contribute to neurological problems.
