C11orf98

C11orf98, also known as Chromosome 11 Open Reading Frame 98, is a human gene located on chromosome 11. The exact function of the protein encoded by this gene is currently not well understood. It is predicted to encode a protein, but limited research has been conducted to characterize its structure, interactions, and biological role.

The gene's name, C11orf98, follows standard nomenclature conventions for human genes. "C11" indicates that the gene is located on chromosome 11. "orf" stands for "open reading frame," signifying a DNA sequence that has the potential to encode a protein. The number "98" is simply a sequential identifier assigned to this specific open reading frame on chromosome 11.

Due to the limited research available, information regarding tissue-specific expression, involvement in specific cellular pathways, or association with any known diseases is scarce. Further research is needed to elucidate the functional significance of C11orf98 and the protein it potentially encodes. Scientists use various techniques such as gene knockout studies, protein interaction analysis, and expression profiling to further investigate the roles of uncharacterized genes like C11orf98.

Its genomic location is within chromosome 11. The gene's sequence is available in public databases such as NCBI's GenBank. However, understanding the coding sequence and its relationship to potential protein products is ongoing. Further investigation is needed to fully characterize any protein product derived from this gene, and the roles it plays within the cell and the organism.
