Human Ankyrin Repeat Domain 19, Pseudogene (ANKRD19P) ELISA Kit

Background

Ankyrin Repeat Domain 19 (ANKRD19P) is a pseudogene belonging to the ankyrin repeat domain-containing family, which is characterized by repetitive ankyrin motifs that mediate protein-protein interactions. While functional ankyrin repeat domain proteins play roles in diverse biological processes such as signal transduction, cytoskeletal organization, and cellular differentiation, ANKRD19P itself is classified as a pseudogene, suggesting that it may no longer encode a functional protein due to accumulated mutations or deletions. However, pseudogenes like ANKRD19P are increasingly recognized for their potential regulatory roles, including acting as decoys for microRNAs or contributing to gene regulation through transcriptional interference or non-coding RNA activity. Research into ANKRD19P focuses on its potential regulatory influence on neighboring or related genes, as well as its involvement in broader genomic processes such as chromatin organization or epigenetic modifications, particularly in the context of diseases like cancer and genomic instability.
