FAM149B1

FAM149B1 is a gene located on chromosome 6 in humans. Its full name is Family With Sequence Similarity 149, Member B1. The precise function of the FAM149B1 protein is currently not fully understood, and research is ongoing to elucidate its role in cellular processes.

While the specific protein function remains under investigation, computational analysis suggests it may participate in protein-protein interactions or have a structural role within the cell. Its sequence contains conserved domains that are found in other proteins, offering clues to its possible biological activity.

The gene is expressed in various tissues, with differing expression levels observed across different cell types. Variations in the FAM149B1 gene sequence have been associated with certain phenotypes in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), suggesting a potential link to complex traits and diseases. Further research is required to confirm these associations and understand the underlying mechanisms by which FAM149B1 contributes to these conditions.

Due to the limited understanding of the FAM149B1 gene's function, current research focuses on identifying its interacting partners, determining its subcellular localization, and characterizing its role in cellular pathways. These efforts aim to provide a more comprehensive understanding of its biological significance.
