The New Role of BOK Protein in Calcium Signaling Regulation Background Introduction BOK (Bcl-2-related ovarian killer) is a member of the Bcl-2 protein family and has long been thought to play a role in cell apoptosis. However, recent studies suggest that BOK may also have non-apoptotic functions, particularly in the regulation of calcium ion (Ca²⁺...

SIRT5-JIP4 Interaction Promotes Osteoclastogenesis by Modulating RANKL-Induced Signaling Transduction Research Background Osteoporosis is a common bone disease characterized by reduced bone density and disrupted bone microstructure, leading to an increased risk of fractures. Osteoclasts, the primary cells responsible for bone resorption, play a cri...

Signal Integrator Function of CXXC5 in Cancer Academic Background CXXC5 (CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5) is a member of the ZF-CXXC protein family and plays a pivotal role in signal integration and information transfer within the cellular signaling network. By regulating multiple signaling pathways (such as Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β/BMP, ATM/p53, etc.)...
