C10orf35
C10orf35 is a human gene located on chromosome 10 at position 10q22.1. The name follows the standard nomenclature for human genes, where "C10" indicates chromosome 10, "orf" stands for open reading frame, and "35" is the sequential number assigned to this open reading frame on that chromosome. Therefore, C10orf35 represents the 35th open reading frame identified on chromosome 10.
Genes identified as "open reading frames" are sequences of DNA that have the potential to encode a protein. The annotation "orf" often signifies that the gene's function has not yet been fully characterized and further research is needed to understand its biological role. While the gene sequence is known, the specific protein encoded by C10orf35, its expression patterns in different tissues, its cellular localization, and its involvement in biological pathways are not comprehensively understood.
Information regarding C10orf35 can typically be found in gene databases such as NCBI Gene, Ensembl, and UniProt. These databases may contain information about the gene's genomic location, transcript variants, predicted protein structure, potential protein domains, and any known protein-protein interactions. As research progresses, these databases are updated with new findings regarding the function and significance of C10orf35.
Due to the limited understanding of its function, C10orf35 is considered a gene of unknown function. Further studies, including proteomics, transcriptomics, and cell-based assays, are required to elucidate the protein's role in cellular processes and its potential involvement in human health and disease.
