CCDC117 Activators

CCDC117, or Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 117, is a protein that is encoded by the CCDC117 gene in humans. The coiled-coil domain is indicative of the protein's potential to engage in protein-protein interactions, which often play critical roles in the formation of functional complexes within the cell. While specific functions of CCDC117 are not extensively documented, its structural domain suggests its involvement in various cellular processes.

Proteins with coiled-coil domains are versatile in their functions and are known to contribute to a wide range of cellular mechanisms, including but not limited to, vesicle transport, cell division, signaling pathways, and the maintenance of cellular structures such as the cytoskeleton. Given its structural motif, CCDC117 may similarly engage in such activities, potentially serving as a scaffold for the assembly of multi-protein complexes or as a mediator in intracellular signaling networks.The details regarding CCDC117's role in human physiology and pathology are currently not well-elucidated. However, the coiled-coil domain's implication in numerous cellular functions means that any aberrations in CCDC117 could potentially have broad effects. Mutations or dysregulation of proteins containing coiled-coil domains have been associated with a variety of human diseases, including developmental disorders, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
