LOC644511 is a 181 amino acid protein that is encoded by a gene which maps to chromosome 10. Spanning nearly 135 million base pairs, chromosome 10 makes up approximately 4.5% of the total DNA in cells and encodes nearly 1,200 genes. Several protein-coding genes, including those that encode for chemokines, cadherins, excision repair proteins, early growth response factors (Egrs) and fibroblast growth receptors (FGFRs), are located on chromosome 10. Defects in some of the genes that map to chromosome 10 are associated with Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Usher syndrome, nonsyndromatic deafness, Wolman’s syndrome, Cowden syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and porphyria. The LOC644511 gene product has been provisionally designated LOC644511 pending further characterization. |
