Gene

CCDC116 has no aliases. [1] This gene is 2252 base pairs long. [2] CCDC116 has 5 exons and is located on chromosome 22q11.21 on the plus strand. [3]

mRNA

CCDC116 has two isoforms. [3] The isoforms differ in the 3’ UTR and coding sequence. [3]

Protein

CCDC116 is 612 amino acids long. [1] CCDC116 is 67.9 kdal. [1] This protein has an isoelectric point of 9.24. [1] This protein is a part of the domain of unknown function 4702. [1]

It is predicted that CCDC116 is located in the nucleus. [4] It is predicted that the membrane typology of this protein is a type 3a rolled up beta sheet. [4] This protein has mostly alpha helices with a few coils. [4]

Expression

CCDC116 is primarily found in the testis, although this gene is found in very small amounts in the brain and connective tissue. [1] There are two SNPs that are upstream variants, one that is a downstream variant, one that is an intron variant. [1]

Regulation of Expression

CCDC116 has four promoter regions and eight primary transcripts. [5] Two promoter regions located on the + strand, and two located on the - strand. [5]

Function Protein Partners

CCDC116 has two predicted function partners. NGFRAP is a nerve growth factor receptor associated protein. [1] This gene is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of neurogenetic diseases, although that claim has not been proven. [1]

Clinical Significance

There has yet to be any disease association with CCDC116, but currently there is a patent for this gene with the potential for it to be related to cancer. [6] A study was done in 2012 on observing how this gene is expressed in human pancreatic islets and in endocrine pancreatic tumors. [7]

FAM76A is a protein that in Homo sapiens is encoded by the FAM76A gene. Notable structural characteristics of FAM76A include an 83 amino acid coiled coil domain as well as a four amino acid poly-serine compositional bias. FAM76A is conserved in most chordates but it is not found in other deuterostrome phlya such as echinodermata, hemichordata, or xenacoelomorpha—suggesting that FAM76A arose sometime after chordates in the evolutionary lineage. Furthermore, FAM76A is not found in fungi, plants, archaea, or bacteria. FAM76A is predicted to localize to the nucleus and may play a role in regulating transcription.

The coiled-coil domain containing 142 (CCDC142) is a gene which in humans encodes the CCDC142 protein. The CCDC142 gene is located on chromosome 2, spans 4339 base pairs and contains 9 exons. The gene codes for the coiled-coil domain containing protein 142 (CCDC142), whose function is not yet well understood. There are two known isoforms of CCDC142. CCDC142 proteins produced from these transcripts range in size from 743 to 665 amino acids and contain signals suggesting protein movement between the cytosol and nucleus. Homologous CCDC142 genes are found in many animals including vertebrates and invertebrates but not fungus, plants, protists, archea, or bacteria. Although the function of this protein is not well understood, it contains a coiled-coil domain and a RINT1_TIP1 motif located within the coiled-coil domain.
