GID4

GID4 encodes the Glycogen Inhibition Deficient Protein 4. Commonly, it is also known as Gid4p. This protein is involved in the ubiquitin - proteasome system and plays a key role in regulating protein degradation. It interacts with specific substrates to mark them for proteasomal destruction. The GID4 - related signaling pathway is mainly associated with cellular metabolic regulation.
Dysregulation of GID4 has been linked to metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. In drug development, there is ongoing research to target GID4 for developing new therapeutic agents. Scientists are exploring how to modulate its activity to correct metabolic imbalances, which shows promise for future treatment strategies.
