C19orf70

C19orf70 (Chromosome 19 Open Reading Frame 70) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C19orf70 gene. The function of this protein is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in various cellular processes.

Function

The C19orf70 protein is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with C19orf70 include Ciliopathy and Retinitis Pigmentosa. Among its related pathways are Organelle biogenesis and maintenance and Intraflagellar transport.

Gene

The C19orf70 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 19 at position 13.2. More precisely, the C19orf70 gene is located from base pair 19,913,691 to base pair 19,917,789 on chromosome 19.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the C19orf70 gene have been associated with various diseases, including Ciliopathy and Retinitis Pigmentosa. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of the C19orf70 gene in these diseases.

Research

Research into the C19orf70 gene and its associated protein is ongoing, with scientists seeking to understand its function and the role it plays in disease. This research could potentially lead to new treatments for diseases associated with mutations in the C19orf70 gene.
