C15orf62

C15orf62 is a human gene located on chromosome 15 at position 15q21.3. The name "C15orf62" stands for "Chromosome 15 open reading frame 62," a nomenclature assigned by the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) Gene Nomenclature Committee. This designation indicates that the gene's function was initially unknown and classified based on its location on the chromosome and the presence of an open reading frame, which suggests the potential for it to be translated into a protein.

Limited research has been conducted specifically on C15orf62, and its precise function remains largely uncharacterized. Studies investigating the gene have often focused on its role within broader genomic contexts, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) looking for genetic variants associated with particular traits or diseases.

The protein encoded by C15orf62 is predicted to be of a certain size and possess particular structural characteristics based on computational analysis of the gene sequence. However, without further experimental investigation, the protein's cellular localization, interacting partners, and biochemical activity are unknown. The expression patterns of C15orf62 can be determined using techniques like RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to identify in which tissues and developmental stages the gene is actively transcribed.

Further research, including cell-based assays and animal models, is needed to elucidate the precise biological role of C15orf62.
