Epothilone A

Epothilone a is a lipid of Polyketides (PK) class. Epothilone a is associated with abnormalities such as abnormal fragmented structure and Hyperostosis, Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal. The involved functions are known as Polymerization, Mutation, Depolymerization, Musculoskeletal torsion, function and Negative Regulation of Microtubule Depolymerization. Epothilone a often locates in Microtubules, soluble, Nuclear Structure and Microtubule cytoskeleton. The associated genes with Epothilone A are C9 gene, SLC33A1 gene, KIF2C gene and HMHA1 gene.
