Other Information

Description

**Key characteristics:** * It is a pseudogene, meaning it is a gene that has been disrupted and does not produce a functional protein. * It is highly expressed in specific cell types, suggesting that it plays a role in their function. * It is involved in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, inflammation, and development. **Pathways and functions:** * EIF3EP1 is involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis (programmed cell death). * It interacts with the PI3K/Akt pathway, a key regulator of cell growth, survival, and metabolism. * It is also involved in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in EIF3EP1 have been linked to certain neurological disorders, including autism and schizophrenia. * Understanding the role of EIF3EP1 in cell cycle regulation and inflammation may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for these disorders. **Additional notes:** * The protein encoded by EIF3EP1 is not known to be expressed in humans. * It is a large gene, with a size of approximately 10.7 kb. * It contains multiple alternatively spliced exons that encode different isoforms of the protein.
