C1orf74 [SEP] chromosome
C1orf74
UPF0739 protein C1orf74 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C1orf74 gene.
Gene.
The gene C1orf74 is a protein-encoding gene on chromosome 1 in humans. It is also known as URLC4 in humans. The locus of this gene is 1q32.2. C1orf74 is 2229 base pairs long. The gene contains two exons.
C1orf74 is downstream of the gene interferon regulatory factor 6 or IRF6 in humans.
Transcript.
C1orf74 is transcribed into an mRNA that is 1642 nucleotides long in humans
the nervous system, mammary and salivary glands, skin, and most internal organs.
Function.
One suggestion of C1orf74's function in humans comes from data that has been published only in NCBI from a paper that will come out later this year by Daigo and Nakamura. The authors found that C1orf74 is up-regulated in lung cancer and they have added the alias URLC4 to this protein (BAQ19750).
C1orf74's locus, 1q32.2, has been associated with schizophrenia. This means that C1orf74, or its neighbors
