The gene encodes a protein called CCDC37. This protein in 611 amino acids in length and has a molecular weight of 71.1 kilodaltons and an isoelectric point of pI=6.7.[ citation needed ]
CCDC37 contains a DUF4200 region located from amino acid 151 to 269. [1] There is no known function for DUF4200. CCDC37 also contains three coiled coil domains at amino acids 164–203, 392–436, and 526–571. [3]
The protein has several probable post-translational modifications. It contains four possible PEST sequence at amino acids 17–36, 293–304, 337–360, and 360–395. [4] It also contains a possible substrate of N-acetyltransferase A at Ser2. [5]
CCDC37 has a predicted nuclear localization via Reinhard's method [6] (reliability 94.1%) using a bipartite nuclear localization signal peptide starting at amino acid 155: KRQMFLLQYALDVKRRE. [7] CCDC37 also has a few predicted nuclear export signals I232, L235, I239, and M551. [8]
CCDC37 protein is widely expressed in mus musculus but only minimally so. Most areas that express CCDC37 have an expression level of 20-40%. Expression levels in the trigeminal nerve, testis, medial olfactory epithelium, dorsal root ganglia, and trachea are the highest with almost 75% expression. [9] CCDC37 is expressed in the cerebellum, medulla, and hippocampal formation in the brain of mus musculus. [10]
Between 20 and 30 days after birth in mus musculus, CCDC37 expression increases from less than 50% to about 85%. [11]
In rattus norvegicus CCDC37 is highly expressed in oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (approximately 85%) but only narrowly expressed in oligodendrocytes themselves (~40%). [12]

There have been three proteins found to interact by physical association with CCDC37 through a yeast two-hybrid screen: histone-lysine N-methyltransferase (SUV39H1), histone-lysine N-methyltransferase (SUV39H2), and lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A). [13]
In a study of the genes expressed in lung squamous cell carcinomas it was found that the promoter region of CCDC37 was hyper methylated causing down regulation of the expression of CCDC37. [14] In a separate study, CCDC37 was also found in spatial and temporal regions in mice that are associated with hereditary congenital facial paresis (HCFP) gene. However through knock out experiments in mice it was found that CCDC37 was unlikely to be a causative agent for the HCFP phenotype. [15]

This protein is known to localize to the nucleus and is thought to be involved in regulation of transcription as are many proteins containing coiled-coil domains. As it is expressed most highly in the testes and is regulated by SRY and SOX transcription factors, it could be involved in sex determination.

This gene can be expressed up to 2.5 times the average gene in its highly expressed tissues. Although the function of C1orf122 is unknown, it is predicted to be used for mitochondria localization.
C7orf50 is a gene in humans that encodes a protein known as C7orf50. This gene is ubiquitously expressed in the kidneys, brain, fat, prostate, spleen, among 22 other tissues and demonstrates low tissue specificity. C7orf50 is conserved in chimpanzees, Rhesus monkeys, dogs, cows, mice, rats, and chickens, along with 307 other organisms from mammals to fungi. This protein is predicted to be involved with the import of ribosomal proteins into the nucleus to be assembled into ribosomal subunits as a part of rRNA processing. Additionally, this gene is predicted to be a microRNA (miRNA) protein coding host gene, meaning that it may contain miRNA genes in its introns and/or exons.
KRBA1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KRBA1 gene. It is located on the plus strand of chromosome 7 from 149,411,872 to 149,431,664. It is also commonly known under two other aliases: KIAA1862 and KRAB A Domain Containing 1 gene and encodes the KRBA1 protein in humans. The KRBA family of genes is understood to encode different transcriptional repressor proteins
C14orf119 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the c14orf119 gene. The c14orf119 protein is predicted to be localized in the nucleus. Additionally, c14orf119 expression is decreased in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) when compared with healthy individual and is increased in individuals with various types of lymphomas when compared to healthy individuals.
Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 190, also known as C1orf110, the Chromosome 1 Open Reading Frame 110, MGC48998 and CCDC190, is found to be a protein coding gene widely expressed in vertebrates. RNA-seq gene expression profile shows that this gene selectively expressed in different organs of human body like lung brain and heart. The expression product of c1orf110 is often called Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 190 with a size of 302 aa. It may get the name because a coiled-coil domain is found from position 14 to 72. At least 6 spliced variants of its mRNA and 3 isoforms of this protein can be identified, which is caused by alternative splicing in human.
PANO1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PANO1 gene. PANO1 is an apoptosis inducing protein that is able to regulate the function of tumor suppressor. More specifically, P14ARF is a protein in which in humans is modulated by the PANO1 gene. P14ARF is known to function as a tumor suppressor. When PANO1 is highly expressed in the cells, it is able to modulate p14ARF by stabilizing it and protecting it from degradation. With a confidence level of 5 out of 5, PANO1 has been theorized to be expressed in the nucleolus of the cell. PANO1 is an intron-less gene. Intron-less genes only make up about 3% of the human genome. A functional analysis of these types of genes revealed that they often have tissue-specific expression in tissues such as the nervous system and testis. This kind of expression is commonly associated with neuropathies, disease, and cancer. The tissue types that PANO1 has the highest expression in, are the cerebellum regions of the brain as well as pituitary and testis tissues.
Chromosome 13 Open Reading Frame 46 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the C13orf46 gene. In humans, C13orf46 is ubiquitously expressed at low levels in tissues, including the lungs, stomach, prostate, spleen, and thymus. This gene encodes eight alternatively spliced mRNA transcript, which produce five different protein isoforms.
