Disease relevance of UBXD8

We found that the expression of the gene ETEA in human peripheral blood CD3-positive cells from patients with atopic dermatitis was significantly higher than in normal individuals [1].

High impact information on UBXD8

Eosinophils from AD patients expressed ETEA at a significantly higher level than the healthy controls [1].
Cloning and characterization of the highly expressed ETEA gene from blood cells of atopic dermatitis patients [1].

Biological context of UBXD8

The enhanced expression of ETEA may play a role in the regulating the resistance to apoptosis that is observed in T cells and eosinophils of AD patients [1].
