PAM1 is a type of protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression in cells. It is part of a larger family of proteins known as PAM (Protein Associated with Myc), which are involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth and differentiation. This protein is particularly important in the context of cancer research, as it can influence the activity of oncogenes, such as Myc. Understanding PAM1 and its functions may provide insights into potential therapeutic targets for treating certain types of cancer.
