The cholinergic system plays a crucial role in the nervous system, and it is involved in various processes such as memory, learning, and attention. Several genes are part of this system, including the cholinergic receptor genes. One of these genes is the cholinergic receptor, alpha1 subunit C gene (CHRNA1C). This gene codes for a transmembrane receptor that is involved in cholinergic neurotransmission. It is a component of the cholinergic receptor family, which also includes other subunits such as CHRNA1A and CHRNA1B.
Another important gene related to the cholinergic system is chloride intracellular channel protein C (CLICC). This gene codes for a voltage-gated chloride channel that regulates the movement of chloride ions across the cell membrane. It is part of the chloride intracellular channel protein family, which includes other subunits such as CLICA, CLICB, and CLICD.
Collectin sub-family member 10C gene (CL10C) is another interesting gene. This gene codes for a collectin protein, which is involved in the innate immune response. The collectin protein family includes other members such as collectin-11 and collectin-12. These proteins are characterized by a collagen-like domain and a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD).
The chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein C gene (CHDC) codes for a chromodomain-containing protein that is involved in chromatin remodeling. It is part of the chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein family, which also includes other members such as CHDA and CHDB. These proteins are involved in regulating gene expression by modifying the structure of chromatin.
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase C gene (CPTC) codes for a mitochondrial enzyme that is involved in fatty acid metabolism. It is part of the carnitine palmitoyltransferase family, which includes other isoforms such as CPTA and CPTB. These enzymes play a crucial role in transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria for beta-oxidation and energy production.
Carbonic anhydrase C gene (CAC) codes for an enzyme that is involved in the regulation of carbon dioxide and pH levels in the body. It is part of the carbonic anhydrase protein family, which includes other isoforms such as CAA and CAB. These enzymes catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate ions and protons.
CYLD lysine 63 deubiquitinase gene (CYLD) codes for a protein that is involved in the regulation of various cellular processes such as cell division, signal transduction, and immune response. It is a member of the CYLD lysine 63 deubiquitinase family, which includes other members such as CYPD and CYLF. These proteins function as deubiquitinases, removing ubiquitin chains from target proteins.
Complexin C gene (CPLN) codes for a protein that is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release in the brain. It is part of the complexin protein family, which includes other isoforms such as CPLNA and CPLNB. These proteins interact with SNARE proteins to modulate synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release.
Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing C gene (NODC) codes for a protein that is involved in the innate immune response. It is a member of the NOD-like receptor family, which includes other members such as NODA and NODB. These proteins recognize distinct pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and activate signaling pathways that lead to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the induction of antimicrobial defense mechanisms.
Cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor C gene (CELC) codes for a protein that is involved in cell-cell adhesion and signal transduction. It is part of the cadherin protein family, which includes other isoforms such as CELA and CELB. These proteins mediate calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion and play a crucial role in tissue development and morphology.
Recruitment factor for CDX1 complex gene (RECC) codes for a protein that is involved in the regulation of gene expression during development. It is part of the recruitment factor protein family, which includes other members such as RECA and RECB. These proteins interact with transcription factors and chromatin modifiers to regulate the expression of genes involved in cell fate specification and tissue patterning.
Binding immunoglobulin protein C gene (BIGC) codes for a protein that is involved in protein folding and trafficking in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is part of the binding immunoglobulin protein family, which includes other isoforms such as BIGA and BIGB. These proteins interact with chaperones and other ER-resident proteins to ensure proper folding and transport of newly synthesized proteins.
