How does the PSMC5 gene actually differ in Ollie and Yoni? Dr. Galen Collins, our Research Fellow, explains.
PSMC5 is one of over 30 genes that together encode for proteins which are built into the 26S proteasome – a group of proteins that cooperate to remove or recycle other proteins in the cell. Proteins are degraded by the proteasome for many reasons. Some proteins are routinely destroyed to keep cells responsive to changes …
