The protein has no ER retention motif in the C-terminus and no RNA binding motif. [12] It has also been predicted to be a soluble nuclear protein with a leucine zipper pattern (PS00029) at position 205 onwards with a sequence LQKRERFLLEREQLLFRHENAL. [12]

Primary sequence and variants/isoforms

There are two isoforms of the CCDC138 protein. The primary isoform has 665 amino acids [13] while the secondary isoform has 577 amino acids, [13] and is missing 88 amino acids at the C-terminus.
