TENT5A

TENT5A, also known as terminal nucleotidyltransferase 5A, is a protein - encoding gene. Commonly, it is also called PAPD7. This enzyme adds nucleotides to the 3' end of RNA molecules. It participates in the non - canonical polyadenylation pathway, which is crucial for RNA stability and translation regulation.
Dysregulation of TENT5A has been linked to several diseases, including certain types of cancer. By influencing RNA processing, it can affect cell growth and proliferation. Currently, research on developing drugs targeting TENT5A is in the early stages, with the hope of modulating its activity for therapeutic purposes.
