Other Information

**Key characteristics:** - The gene is located on chromosome 19p13.1. - It is a multi-exon gene, with multiple transcripts encoding different isoforms of the protein. - The protein is a chaperone protein that helps to repair DNA damage by binding to the ends of DNA breaks and facilitating the repair process. **Pathways and functions:** - The KPNA2 gene is involved in the antiviral mechanism of interferons, which are proteins that are produced by infected cells to stimulate the immune system to fight off infection. - It is also involved in the regulation of cytokine signaling in the immune system. - It is involved in the Dna double-strand break repair pathway, where it helps to repair DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation and other forms of DNA damage. - It is also involved in the Dna double strand break response pathway, where it helps to repair DNA damage caused by viruses. **Clinical significance:** - Mutations in the KPNA2 gene have been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. - Targeting the KPNA2 gene has been investigated as a cancer treatment strategy.
