UHRF1

UHRF1, or Ubiquitin-like with PHD and Ring Finger domains 1, is a protein involved in regulating gene expression and maintaining DNA integrity. It functions by helping to attach chemical markers to DNA and associated proteins, influencing whether genes are turned on or off. UHRF1 plays a crucial role in DNA replication, repair, and cell division, ensuring healthy cell function. It is especially active during cell growth and has been linked to cancer development when its regulation is disrupted. Overall, UHRF1 is key to controlling how cells grow and preserve their genetic information.
