CCDC157 Activators

CCDC157, which stands for Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 157, is a protein encoded by the CCDC157 gene in humans. Proteins that contain coiled-coil domains are typically involved in a wide array of biological functions, primarily due to their propensity for forming stable and versatile structures that facilitate protein-protein interactions. The coiled-coil is a structural motif in which alpha-helices are coiled together like the strands of a rope, enabling the formation of homo- or hetero-oligomeric complexes.

Although the exact biological functions of CCDC157 are not comprehensively documented in the scientific literature, it can be inferred from its structural features that it may play a role in processes that require specific protein interactions. These processes could include vesicle-mediated transport, cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, and intracellular trafficking, which are common functions associated with coiled-coil domain-containing proteins.CCDC157 may also be involved in the regulation of gene expression, as proteins with this domain often participate in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. Furthermore, such proteins can impact cell cycle control and cellular division, suggesting that CCDC157 could potentially have a role in these areas as well.
