Source:

Type:

A protein that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including autophagy, cell signaling, and protein degradation.
p62 is a scaffold protein that interacts with various signaling molecules, including kinases, phosphatases, and ubiquitin ligases. It is also a substrate of autophagy, a process by which cells recycle damaged or dysfunctional organelles and proteins.
p62 is overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, colon, and liver cancer.
Its overexpression has been associated with poor prognosis and reduced survival in some cancers.
