AHDC1
AHDC1 (pronounced as A-H-D-C-One), also known as AT-hook DNA-binding motif-containing protein 1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AHDC1 gene.
Pronunciation
The pronunciation of AHDC1 is "A-H-D-C-One".
Etymology
The term AHDC1 is an acronym derived from "AT-hook DNA-binding motif-containing protein 1". The AT-hook is a small DNA-binding motif, and the number 1 signifies that it is the first of its kind to be identified.
Function
AHDC1 is a protein coding gene. Diseases associated with AHDC1 include Xia-Gibbs Syndrome, which is caused by mutations in the AHDC1 gene. The encoded protein may play a role in neurodevelopment.
