BST1

BST1 stands for Bone Marrow Stromal Cell Antigen 1, also commonly known as CD157. This protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored molecule. It functions as a multifaceted protein involved in cell adhesion, activation, and migration. It participates in the Wnt signaling pathway, modulating cell survival and proliferation.
Alterations in BST1 expression are associated with several diseases, such as multiple myeloma and Parkinson's disease. In drug development, BST1 is emerging as a potential therapeutic target. Researchers are exploring inhibitors to regulate its activity, aiming to develop novel treatments for the related diseases.
