From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA
Murodermin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MUROD gene. It is a member of the dermin family of proteins, which are involved in cell adhesion and cell migration.
Function[edit]
Murodermin is a cytoskeletal protein that promotes the formation of stress fibers. It is involved in cell adhesion and cell migration, and it may play a role in the development and maintenance of various tissues.
Clinical significance[edit]
Mutations in the MUROD gene have been associated with a variety of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disease. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of murodermin in these conditions.
