C11orf97
Description
The C11ORF97 (chromosome 11 open reading frame 97) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
C11ORF97, also known as Chromosome 11 Open Reading Frame 97, is a protein encoded by the C11ORF97 gene in humans. It is believed to reside in the cytoplasm and play a role in the ciliary basal body. Based on its protein interactions, it is speculated to be involved in Lemierre's Syndrome and Hepatic Coma.
The C11ORF97 gene is 19,663 base pairs long, including introns, spanning from position 94,512,461 to 94,532,123 on the long arm of chromosome 11 at 11q21. It has a plus strand orientation and only one known variant.
Expression of C11ORF97 is detected in various tissues, with prominent expression in the lungs and brain. According to the Human Protein Atlas, the highest RNA expression is found in different parts of the brain, including the choroid plexus, fallopian tube, and lung.
C11ORF97 is also known as LINC01171.
