Other Information

Description

**Key characteristics:** * The gene is located on chromosome 17q21.1. * It is a pseudogene, meaning it is not a functional gene. * It is expressed in a variety of cell types, including plasma cells, epithelial cells, hematopoietic stem cells, luminal epithelial cells of the mammary gland, basal cells, mesenchymal stem cells, adventitial cells, retinal rod cells, and retinal ganglion cells. **Pathways and functions:** * The protein encoded by the FDPSP5 gene is not known to be expressed in the final protein. * However, it is thought to be involved in the regulation of immune responses. * Studies have shown that the deletion of the FDPSP5 gene in mice leads to a decrease in the number of plasma cells and an increase in the number of regulatory T cells. * This suggests that the FDPSP5 gene is involved in the regulation of immune responses. **Clinical significance:** * The FDPSP5 gene is a potential target for cancer immunotherapy. * Studies have shown that silencing the FDPSP5 gene in cancer cells can lead to regression of cancer growth. * Further research is needed to determine the role of the FDPSP5 gene in cancer and to develop therapeutic strategies that target it.
