Ankyrin Repeat Domain 54 Protein

Background

ANKRD54 is a protein involved in hematopoiesis and the regulation of erythroid differentiation. It acts as a scaffold protein that interacts with signaling molecules and transcription factors to control red blood cell development and maturation. ANKRD54 is essential for the proper regulation of gene expression in hematopoietic progenitors, influencing processes such as cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Mutations or dysregulation of ANKRD54 have been linked to hematopoietic disorders, including anemia and other blood-related abnormalities. Its function in erythroid lineage specification highlights its importance in maintaining the integrity of the blood system and supporting normal hematopoiesis.
