TAFA1

TAFA1, also known as TNF-alpha induced protein 8 like 1, is a protein - coding gene. The full name of the corresponding protein is TNF - alpha - induced protein 8 - like 1, and it's commonly referred to as TAFA1, TIPE1. Its mechanism involves regulating cell survival and apoptosis. It participates in the PI3K - AKT signaling pathway. Abnormal TAFA1 expression is linked to various cancers, including breast and lung cancer.
Regarding drug development, research is exploring compounds that can modulate TAFA1 activity to target cancer cells. Such drugs might interfere with its function in the signaling pathway to halt tumor growth and progression, offering new hopes for cancer treatment.
