Also known as

Chromosome 6 open reading frame 10, MGC50559

Overview

C6orf10 (Chromosome 6 Open Reading Frame 10) is a gene located on chromosome 6 that encodes a protein whose full biological function is still being characterized. Open reading frames (ORFs) represent potential protein-coding sequences identified through genomic analysis. While C6orf10 has been identified through genome sequencing projects, research into its specific function is ongoing. The gene is expressed in various tissues, suggesting it may play a role in normal cellular processes. Like many ORFs, C6orf10 may be involved in basic cellular functions, regulatory processes, or tissue-specific activities. As genomic research advances, the specific roles of genes like C6orf10 continue to be elucidated through functional studies, expression profiling, and protein characterization. Variants in this gene may influence its expression levels or protein function, potentially affecting the biological processes in which it participates.
