Aspartate-rich protein 1 (DRICH1)

Aspartate-rich protein 1 (DRICH1) is a protein-coding gene in humans, also referred to as C22orf43 or KB-208E9.1[3][9]. It encodes a protein with a high content of aspartate residues. The molecular function of DRICH1 is not well characterized; current evidence suggests only general protein binding activity (GO:0005515)[1][5]. There is no established evidence that DRICH1 functions as a classic therapeutic target such as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or transcription factor, nor is there evidence implicating direct involvement in specific molecular pathways or drug interactions. DRICH1 is associated with certain disease states based on genetic studies, including childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia and distal chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome[3]. However, there is no current evidence for its use as a biomarker or safety concerns related to modulation.
