Overview of Gene Research
NCKAP1, also known as Nck-associated protein 1, is crucial for cytoskeletal functions and various cellular activities [2,3,4]. It regulates the actin cytoskeleton and is part of the WAVE2 complex, which is associated with the regulation of small GTPase-mediated signal transduction [2,5]. NCKAP1 is essential for neuronal cytoskeletal dynamics and neuronal differentiation in the developing brain [1].

In a mouse model of melanoma driven by BRAFV600E;PTEN loss, targeted deletion of Nckap1 in the melanocyte lineage delayed tumor onset and progression, highlighting its role in cell-cycle progression and maintaining tumor tissue integrity [6]. In utero electroporation experiments in mice showed that Nckap1 loss of function promotes neuronal migration during early cortical development, suggesting its role in neurodevelopmental delay/autism [1].

In conclusion, NCKAP1 plays essential roles in multiple biological processes. Its function in regulating cytoskeletal dynamics is crucial for normal development. Mouse models, especially those with Nckap1 knockout, have revealed its significance in diseases such as melanoma and neurodevelopmental disorders, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets [1,6].
