CCDC57

CCDC57 (Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 57) is a human gene that encodes a protein also known as CCDC57. The precise function of the CCDC57 protein is not yet fully elucidated, but it is believed to play a role in cellular processes.

Gene Information:

• CCDC57 is located on chromosome 17 in humans.
• The gene contains multiple exons that are transcribed and spliced to produce the mRNA transcript encoding the CCDC57 protein.
• Variations (mutations) within the CCDC57 gene have been investigated in relation to various diseases.

Protein Information:

• The CCDC57 protein contains a coiled-coil domain, a structural motif often involved in protein-protein interactions. This suggests that CCDC57 may interact with other proteins to perform its function.
• The protein's molecular weight and amino acid sequence can be found in protein databases like UniProt.
• Studies involving cellular localization have indicated that CCDC57 may be found in various cellular compartments, possibly dependent on cell type and specific conditions.

Research and Significance:

• Research on CCDC57 is ongoing to determine its exact role in cellular pathways and its potential involvement in disease.
• Expression studies have examined the levels of CCDC57 mRNA and protein in different tissues and cell types, providing clues about its function.
• Future research directions include investigating the protein's interaction partners and its role in specific biological processes.
