Microcephalin (MCPH1) is a gene that is expressed during fetal brain development. Certain mutations in MCPH1 , when homozygous , cause primary microcephaly —a severely diminished brain . [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Hence, it has been assumed that variants have a role in brain development.
Abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated protein, also known as abnormal spindle protein homolog or Asp homolog, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ASPM gene. [5] ASPM is located on chromosome 1, band q31 (1q31). [6] The ASPM gene contains 28 exons and codes for a 3477 amino-acid-long protein. [6]
Central dogma depicting transcription from DNA code to RNA code to the proteins in the second step covering the production of protein. Protein production is the biotechnological process of generating a specific protein. It is typically achieved by the manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses large amounts of a ...
Forkhead box protein P2 (FOXP2) is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the FOXP2 gene. FOXP2 is a member of the forkhead box family of transcription factors, proteins that regulate gene expression by binding to DNA. It is expressed in the brain, heart, lungs and digestive system. [5] [6]
Tau proteins are found more often in neurons than in non-neuronal cells in humans. One of tau's main functions is to modulate the stability of axonal microtubules. [11] [13] Other nervous system microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) may perform similar functions, as suggested by tau knockout mice that did not show abnormalities in brain development – possibly because of compensation in tau ...

In the human genome, CCL2 and many other CC chemokines are located on chromosome 17 (17q11.2-q21.1). [8] The gene span is 1,927 bases and the CCL2 gene resides on the Watson (plus) strand. The CCL2 gene has three exons and two introns. The CCL2 protein precursor contains a signal peptide of 23 amino acids. In turn, the mature CCL2 is 76 amino ...
Beclin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BECN1 gene. [5] [6] Beclin-1 is a mammalian ortholog of the yeast autophagy-related gene 6 (Atg6) and BEC-1 in the C. elegans nematode. [7] This protein interacts with either BCL-2 or PI3k class III, playing a critical role in the regulation of both autophagy and cell death.
