Activity summary

ANKRD23 also known as Ankyrin Repeat Domain-containing protein 23 is a protein that plays a significant role in cellular processes through mechanical interactions. It weighs approximately 34 kDa. ANKRD23 is expressed in various tissues with a notable presence in the brain suggesting its involvement in neurological functions. This target belongs to the ankyrin repeat protein family recognized for specific protein-protein interactions that aid in maintaining cellular structure and signaling.

Biological function summary

ANKRD23 acts as an adaptor protein facilitating interactions between other proteins and influencing signaling pathways. It is known to be part of protein complexes involved in the regulation of cell cycle and apoptotic processes. Through these functions ANKRD23 supports cellular homeostasis and response mechanisms highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular integrity under different physiological conditions.

Pathways

ANKRD23 is associated with the Wnt signaling pathway and the NF-kB signaling pathway. These pathways are important for regulating gene transcription cellular growth and immune responses. ANKRD23 interacts with proteins such as beta-catenin in the Wnt pathway and RELA in the NF-kB pathway which are instrumental in mediating cellular responses to external stimuli and internal regulatory signals.

Associated diseases and disorders

ANKRD23 has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers. In the context of neurodegenerative diseases ANKRD23's interactions with proteins such as TAU may influence the progression of conditions like Alzheimer's disease. In cancer altered expression of ANKRD23 could affect the regulatory balance within cell signaling pathways potentially interacting with p53 in cell cycle control and apoptosis evasion.
