A family of GTP-binding proteins that were initially identified in YEASTS where they were shown to initiate the process of septation and bud formation. Septins form into hetero-oligomeric complexes that are comprised of several distinct septin subunits. These complexes can act as cytoskeletal elements that play important roles in CYTOKINESIS, cytoskeletal reorganization, BIOLOGICAL TRANSPORT, and membrane dynamics.
Septins has been studied across 14 research domains including 🔬 Inflammation, 🛡️ Immunity, 🔬 Oncology, ⏳ Longevity & Aging, 🔥 Metabolic. The primary research focus is 🔬 Inflammation with 11% of studies addressing this area.
