Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex interacting multifunctional protein 1 (AIMP1) is crucial for protein translation and regulates immunity, brain function, and angiogenesis. AIMP1 shows therapeutic potential in cancer, immune, and neurological diseases.
Area of Science:
- Molecular Biology
- Immunology
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex interacting multifunctional protein 1 (AIMP1), also known as p43, is an auxiliary factor of the aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex.
- Beyond its role in protein translation via the multisynthetase complex (MSC), AIMP1 influences immune responses, brain function, and angiogenesis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize current research on AIMP1 functions in physiological and pathological conditions.
- To highlight the therapeutic potential of AIMP1 in various diseases.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of existing studies on AIMP1.
- Analysis of AIMP1's involvement in physiological processes.
- Investigation of AIMP1's role in pathological conditions.
Main Results:
- AIMP1 is implicated in immune regulation, neurological processes, and blood vessel formation.
- AIMP1 is involved in the pathogenesis of cancer, immune disorders, and neurological diseases.
Conclusions:
- AIMP1 possesses diverse functions extending beyond protein translation.
- AIMP1 represents a promising therapeutic target for multiple diseases, including cancer and neurological disorders.
