C12orf40 [SEP] chromosome
C12orf40
C12orf40, also known as Chromosome 12 Open Reading Frame 40, HEL-206, and Epididymis Luminal Protein 206 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "C12orf40" gene.
Gene.
Gene Human gene.
In humans, the gene for "C12orf40" is located on chromosome 12. There are 13 exons in the highest quality isoform, forming an mRNA of 2797 base pairs. Three other isoforms have been isolated.
Gene Evolution.
Homologs exist as distant as the green sea turtle and chickens at
is predicted to be a soluble protein with no transmembrane segments. Its secondary and tertiary structures are not currently known.
Protein Interactions.
Experimental evidence shows that C12orf40 has a physical interaction with dynein light chain 2 (DYNLL2). This protein is part of a complex that regulates the function of the motor protein dynein.
Protein Expression.
Within the cell, "C12orf40" is predicted to be present in the nucleus based on signals within its sequence. An analysis of normal human tissues shows that "C12orf40" expression occurs
