GIGYF1 (GRB10 Interacting GYF Protein 1): GIGYF1 is an adaptor protein that plays a key role in cellular signaling pathways, especially those linked to the insulin and IGF-1 receptors. By interacting with the GRB10 protein, GIGYF1 helps regulate cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. It is important for maintaining insulin sensitivity and glucose balance, making it relevant to metabolic control and diabetes. Additionally, GIGYF1 is involved in controlling mRNA translation and stability, influencing gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.
