CCDC11
CCDC11 is a human gene that encodes a coiled-coil domain containing protein 11. While the precise function of the CCDC11 protein is not fully elucidated, it is implicated in various cellular processes.
Gene Information:
- Official Full Name: Coiled-coil domain containing 11
- Gene Symbol: CCDC11
- Aliases: (None commonly used)
- Location: The CCDC11 gene is located on human chromosome 11. (Specific chromosomal location, e.g., 11p15.5, would be added if known).
- Orthologs: CCDC11 has orthologs (genes in other species derived from a common ancestral gene) in other mammals and potentially in other vertebrate species.
Protein Information:
- Protein Name: Coiled-coil domain containing protein 11
- Function: The exact function of CCDC11 protein remains under investigation. Research suggests a role in [Specify cellular process if known, e.g., protein-protein interactions, cellular transport, or signal transduction].
- Structure: The protein contains a coiled-coil domain, a structural motif commonly involved in protein-protein interactions.
- Post-translational modifications: (Information on post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, etc. would be included if known).
- Subcellular localization: (Information on where the protein is located within the cell, e.g., nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, would be included if known).
Clinical Significance:
- Disease Associations: Research is ongoing to determine any associations between CCDC11 and human diseases. [If there are any known diseases or conditions associated with mutations or altered expression of CCDC11, they would be described here. If there are no known associations, this should be stated explicitly.]
- Potential Therapeutic Targets: (If CCDC11 or its associated pathways are considered potential targets for drug development, this would be noted).
Further Research:
Further research is required to fully understand the function of CCDC11 and its role in cellular processes and disease. Studies investigating protein interactions, subcellular localization, and the effects of CCDC11 mutations will contribute to a more complete understanding of this gene and its protein product.
