FAM90A12 Inhibitors

Family with sequence similarity 90, member A12 (FAM90A12) is a protein encoded by a gene that belongs to a larger family of proteins characterized by having a sequence similarity within the family. Proteins within this family typically share common structural features or functional motifs that suggest a related role in cellular processes. However, the specific functions of many FAM90A proteins, including FAM90A12, have not been fully elucidated, which is not uncommon in the realm of protein families identified through genomic sequencing efforts.

Given the designation "family with sequence similarity," FAM90A12 likely shares sequence homology and possibly functional characteristics with other members of the FAM90A family. These shared sequences are often indicative of conserved roles in cellular biology, such as DNA binding, signal transduction, or interaction with other proteins. The "A12" signifies that it is one specific member of this larger family, suggesting that there are multiple paralogous proteins within this group, each with potentially distinct or overlapping functions.
