CCDC104

CCDC104, or Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 104, is a human gene that encodes a protein of the same name. The protein's precise function is not yet fully elucidated, but research suggests that it plays a role in cellular processes, potentially related to microtubule dynamics and cell division.

The CCDC104 gene is located on chromosome 17 in humans. Sequence analysis reveals the presence of a coiled-coil domain, a structural motif commonly involved in protein-protein interactions. This suggests that the CCDC104 protein likely interacts with other proteins to perform its function.

While the exact mechanism of action remains under investigation, studies indicate that CCDC104 is expressed in various tissues. Further research is needed to fully understand the specific role of CCDC104 in normal cellular function and its potential involvement in disease. Changes in CCDC104 expression or mutations in the gene might be linked to certain developmental or pathological conditions; however, definitive connections require more investigation.
