SIDT1

The protein corresponding to the gene SIDT1 is SID1 transmembrane family member 1. It has no well - known common aliases. SIDT1 is involved in the transport of double - stranded RNA across cell membranes. This mechanism plays a crucial role in the RNA interference pathway, helping cells to regulate gene expression by degrading specific mRNAs.
In terms of diseases, abnormal SIDT1 function may be associated with certain genetic disorders and viral infections. Regarding drug development, research is in the early stage. Scientists are exploring ways to target SIDT1 to develop therapies for related diseases, aiming to enhance RNA - based treatment efficacy.
