The phrase "are functionally involved in" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe the role or participation of something in a particular function or process.
Example: "The researchers found that several genes are functionally involved in the development of the disease."
Alternatives: "play a functional role in" or "are actively engaged in".
The rationale for our approach is the GBA principle, i.e., genes that are functionally involved in, or linked to, the same function will in general show higher expression correlations than genes that are not functionally related.
These findings indicate that the MPOA and, to some extent, the BNST are functionally involved in the initiation and in the maintenance of maternal behavior in sheep, but this involvement is influenced by maternal experience.
Specifically, task-based fMRI (tfMRI) has been widely used to record functional brain activities during a specific task performance and further to identify brain regions that are functionally involved in the task performance [2, 4, 5].
These results indicate that ERK and PI3K signalling pathways are functionally involved in the altered cell growth induced by N-cadherin in osteoblasts.
As we had detected HPV16 virions associated with TEMs on the plasma membrane, we asked whether tetraspanins are functionally involved in entry and infection.
Besides the Bcl-2 family members, we put together a group of proteins that are all mitochondrial and are functionally involved in energy metabolism and mitochondrial physiology.
These results imply that the protein encoded by this unique gene might be functionally involved in the olfactory process in humans and dogs and that its function could be evolutionarily preserved in mammalian species.
We found that the human discs large (hDlg) tumor suppressor homologue is functionally involved in cytokinesis.
We previously reported that hsa-miR-520d-5p hsa-miR-520d-5p hsa-miR-520d-5p hsa-miR-520d-5pe epishelial–mesenchymal transition and stemness-mediated processes in normal cells and cancer cells, respectively.
Additionally, SQ-C showed showed a significant negative correlation with the regional gray matter volume of the left posterior parietal cortex, which is functionally involved in selective attention processing.
These studies identified several SNP associated with the ABCG2 locus that were functionally involved in UA efflux.
