C9orf64 [SEP] chromosome
C9orf64
C9orf64 (Chromosome 9 open reading frame 64) is a gene located on chromosome 9, that in humans encodes the protein queuosine salvage protein. The function and biological process of the queuosine salvage protein is not well understood by the scientific community, but some evidence from orthologs indicates it may be involved in tRNA processing. The most common mRNA contains 4 coding exons, and it has 2 additional alternatively spliced exons. C9orf64 has been found in 5 different splice variants.
Expression of this gene is highest in the duodenum
nervous system (brain, cortex, cerebellum, spinal cord, tibial nerve).
- TMEM179-is located on chromosome 14, and or 90. It is predicted to localize in the mitochondria membrane
- C9orf64 - this encodes the queosine salvage protein (the function of which is not well understood). Expression of this gene is highest in the duodenum and small intestine, it is a member of the DUF 2419 family.
- C1orf167 - is a protein encoding gene of unknown function. It is associated with neural tube
