Human C5orf24 is a protein-coding gene 26,133 base pairs long (chr5:134,833,603-134,859,735) composed of two exons and one intron at locus 5q31.1 oriented on the plus strand.[5][10][11][12] Alternate names for the gene are FLJ37562 and LOC134553.[10][13][14] Genes neighboring C5orf24 include DDX46, RPL34P13, and TXNDC15.[5] Some transcription factors predicted to bind to conserved sites on the promoter region (GXP_7545710) are NRF1, E2F, ZF5, and AHR.[15]
The human C5orf24 gene has three mRNA transcript variants.[5][11] Both transcript variant 1 and 2 encode protein isoform 1 which is 188 amino acids in length.[16][17] Transcript variant 1 is the longest and highest quality transcript (5083 nucleotides) with transcript variant 2 (4896 nucleotides) having a smaller 5' UTR region.[16][17] Transcript variant 3 lacks an internal segment resulting in an alternate translational stop codon making it is the shortest variant (3054 nucleotides) encoding the smaller protein isoform 2 which is 155 amino acids in length.[18]

Conservation
Multiple sequence alignments revealed the C5orf24 protein has been highly conserved and likely originated in cartilaginous fishes nearly 465 million years ago.[7][32][35][36] A series of internal repeats in the second disordered region were additionally identified in proteins found within jawless fishes and invertebrates, suggesting an orthologous domain began even further back in evolutionary history.[7]
While this gene has yet to be well understood by the scientific community, some genotype-phenotype correlations have been established including the upregulation of C5orf24 in individuals with PTSD and downregulation in those with improved symptoms,[40] a linear correlation between methylation levels of C5orf24 GC sites to negative affect scores in drug addicts,[41] as well as GWAS studies demonstrating SNPs in C5orf24 to be associated with Parkinson's disease in the Chinese Han population[42] and Crohn's disease.[43]
