C9orf64

C9orf64 (Chromosome 9 open reading frame 64) is a is_associated_with::gene located on is_associated_with::chromosome 9, that in humans encodes the is_associated_with::protein LOC84267. The function and biological process of protein LOC84267 is not well understood by the scientific community. The most common mRNA contains 4 coding is_associated_with::exons. C9orf64 has been found in 5 different splice variants.

Protein
LOC84267 is 341 is_associated_with::amino acids long with a molecular weight of 39,029 Daltons and an is_associated_with::isoelectric point of 5.61. It is a member of the DUF2419 superfamily. The DUF position on the human protein is from amino acid 53 to 341. Bioinformatic tools at ExPASy predicted a second peroxisomal targeting signal.

Gene locus
C9orf64 is located on chromosome 9q21.32. The genes closest to C9orf64 on the long arm of chromosome 9 include GKAP1, KIF27, HNRNPK, is_associated_with::RMI1, and a is_associated_with::MicroRNA MIR7-1.

Homology
C9orf64 is only found in is_associated_with::eukaryotes. Orthologs have been found from is_associated_with::primates to fungi and is_associated_with::plants.
