Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** PARD6A is a member of the Par family of proteins, which are essential for establishing and maintaining cell polarity. The gene is highly expressed in various tissues, including the respiratory tract, small intestine, cerebral cortex, and colon. PARD6A interacts with other proteins, such as PAR3, to form the Par polarity complex, which is responsible for regulating cell polarity and cell junction organization. The gene is also involved in signaling pathways, including Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β, which are critical for regulating cellular processes such as cell division, migration, and differentiation. **Pathways and Functions:** PARD6A is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **Establishment of Asymmetric Cell Polarity:** PARD6A interacts with PAR3 to form the Par polarity complex, which regulates the asymmetric localization of key proteins, such as β-catenin, to establish cell polarity. 2. **Cell Junction Organization:** PARD6A is involved in the regulation of tight junctions, which are essential for maintaining the integrity of epithelial tissues. 3. **Wnt/β-catenin Signaling:** PARD6A interacts with β-catenin to regulate the Wnt signaling pathway, which is critical for regulating cellular processes such as cell division and differentiation. 4. **TGF-β Signaling:** PARD6A is also involved in the regulation of TGF-β signaling, which is essential for regulating cellular processes such as cell migration and differentiation. **Clinical Significance:** Abnormal expression or function of PARD6A has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer:** PARD6A has been shown to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, including colon, lung, and breast cancer. Abnormal expression of PARD6A has been associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis. 2. **Neurological Disorders:** PARD6A has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Abnormal expression of PARD6A has been associated with neuronal dysfunction and degeneration. 3. **Epithelial Diseases:** PARD6A has been shown to be involved in the regulation of epithelial cell polarity and tight junctions. Abnormal expression of PARD6A has been associated with various epithelial diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease and skin disorders. In conclusion, PARD6A is a critical gene that plays a key role in regulating cell polarity and cell junction organization. Abnormal expression or function of PARD6A has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and epithelial diseases. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms by which PARD6A regulates cellular processes and to identify potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of these diseases.
