UACA explained

UACA should not be confused with Uaçá River.

Uveal autoantigen with coiled-coil domains and ankyrin repeats is a protein that in humans is encoded by the UACA gene.^{[1] [2] [3]} Diseases associated with UACA include Graves' Disease.^[4] Among its related pathways are signaling by Rho GTPases and Intrinsic Pathway for Apoptosis. An important paralog of this gene is ANKRD24.^[5]
