OTOR

In a land of genes, where secrets hide, There lived a protein, filled with pride. Otoraplin was its name, you see, A protein that held a mystery. From the Golgi apparatus it would roam, Through the body, finding its own home. In cartilage, it played a vital role, Developing and maintaining, a precious goal. But oh, dear children, listen close, A polymorphism, a gene's grandiose. In the start codon, a change could be found, Silencing Otoraplin, without a sound. And in this silence, a deafness may arise, A challenge for ears, a different guise. But fear not, little ones, for science will strive, To understand and help us thrive. Otoraplin, a member of a special family, Melanoma-inhibiting, a gene so fancy. With alternate polyA sites, it does exist, A protein with secrets, waiting to be kissed. Random page: KAC Kenitra
