Located primarily in the cell nucleus, ZGRF1 is believed to function as a transcription factor or regulator of gene expression. Although the precise roles of ZGRF1 are still being researched, zinc finger proteins generally play key roles in various cellular processes such as gene transcription, RNA processing, and chromatin remodelling. These proteins can act as transcriptional activators or repressors by binding to specific DNA sequences.

TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase) is a gene that encodes an enzyme essential for thyroid hormone synthesis. This enzyme catalyses the iodination and coupling of hormone precursors, leading to the production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). Dysregulation of TPO can contribute to thyroid disorders.

AKT3, also known as Protein Kinase B (PKB) gamma, is a serine/threonine protein kinase that plays a key role in regulating several cellular processes — including cell survival, proliferation, metabolism, and growth. As a member of the AKT kinase family (which includes AKT1 and AKT2), AKT3 is primarily involved in controlling cell survival and apoptosis. It becomes activated in response to growth factors, cytokines, and other extracellular signals that promote cell growth and survival. Once activated, AKT3 phosphorylates downstream targets like BAD and caspase-9, which are important in the regulation of apoptosis.

TNXB (Tenascin-XB) is a member of the tenascin family of extracellular matrix proteins and plays a key role in tissue development, organisation, and maintenance. It is mainly found in connective tissues, contributing to the structural integrity and elasticity of the extracellular matrix (ECM). TNXB supports cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation, impacting processes such as wound healing, tissue remodelling, and organ formation. Its expression is especially high in skin, tendons, and blood vessels, where it helps regulate the mechanical strength and resilience of these tissues.

TNXB

PEAK1 (Pseudopodium-Enriched Atypical Kinase 1): PEAK1 is a gene involved in cell signalling and cytoskeletal dynamics. It plays an important role in cell migration, adhesion, and invasion. Dysregulation of PEAK1 has been linked to cancer progression and metastasis, as it promotes tumour cell mobility and invasion into surrounding tissues.

PEAK1

GCSAML (Germinal Centre-Associated Signalling And Motility-Like): GCSAML is a gene that is less well characterised but is thought to play a role in immune cell signalling and motility, especially in germinal centre B cells. It may be important for the development of immune responses and the regulation of B cell activity.

GCSAML

CHRM3 (Cholinergic Receptor Muscarinic 3): CHRM3 is a receptor for acetylcholine (ACh) that plays a key role in various physiological functions, including smooth muscle contraction and glandular secretion. Dysregulation of CHRM3 is associated with conditions such as asthma and overactive bladder syndrome.

CHRM3

NRBF2 (Nuclear Receptor Binding Factor 2): NRBF2 is a protein involved in autophagy, a cellular process that degrades and recycles damaged or unnecessary components. NRBF2 plays a key role in regulating autophagy by helping to form autophagosomes, the double-membraned vesicles that capture cellular cargo for degradation. It interacts with the ULK1 kinase complex – which includes ULK1, ATG13, FIP200, and ATG101 – promoting its stability and activity, which is essential for initiating autophagy.

NRBF2

TYR (Tyrosinase): TYR is an enzyme that plays a key role in the melanin biosynthesis pathway, responsible for the initial steps of converting tyrosine into melanin pigments. Melanin is essential for the colouring of skin, hair, and eyes, and it provides protection against UV radiation. Mutations in TYR are linked to albinism, a condition marked by reduced or absent melanin, which can lead to visual impairments and a higher risk of skin cancer. TYR’s role in pigmentation highlights its importance in shielding against UV damage and supporting normal visual system development.

IFNLR1 (Interferon Lambda Receptor 1): IFNLR1 is a gene that encodes the receptor for interferon lambda, a type of interferon involved in the immune response to viral infections. It plays a key role in antiviral defence, especially in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. IFNLR1 signalling helps control viral infections while limiting tissue damage caused by inflammation.

IFNLR1

NVL (Nuclear VCP-Like): NVL is a member of the AAA-ATPase family involved in several cellular processes, including ribosome biogenesis and the response to cellular stress. It plays a role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and ensuring proper nucleolus function.

FRA10AC1 (Fragile Site, Folic Acid Type, Rare, Fra(10)(q23.3) Or FRA10A Candidate 1): FRA10AC1 is a gene associated with a rare fragile site on chromosome 10. Fragile sites are specific regions in the genome that exhibit increased susceptibility to breakage under certain conditions. These regions can contribute to chromosomal instability and have been linked to various genetic disorders and cancers. While the exact functions of FRA10AC1 are not yet fully understood, research is focused on its role in maintaining genomic stability and its potential connection to developmental disorders and disease risk.

H2BC1 (Histone H2B type 1-C/E/F/G/I) is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the histone H2B family, essential for packaging DNA into chromatin in eukaryotic cell nuclei. Histones such as H2B play a key role in regulating gene expression by controlling DNA accessibility to transcription factors and machinery. H2BC1 specifically contributes to forming the nucleosome core, where H2B proteins, together with histones H2A, H3, and H4, assemble into an octameric complex around which DNA is wrapped.
