FAM200A
Description
The FAM200A (family with sequence similarity 200 member A) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 7.
FAM200A is a gene located on chromosome 7 in the human genome. The gene is expressed in nearly all tissue types at very low levels. Evolutionarily, it can be found throughout the kingdom animalia. While the function of the protein is not fully understood by the scientific community, bioinformatic tools have shown that the protein bares much similarity to zinc finger or transposase proteins. Many of its orthologs, paralogs, and neighboring genes have been shown to possess zinc finger domains. The protein contains a hAT dimerization domain nears its C-terminus. This domain is highly conserved in transposase enzymes.
== Gene == FAM200A is located on chromosome 7 at q22.1. Its genomic sequence contains 5,612 bp. The predominant transcript contains two exons and is 2,507 bp in length.
FAM200A, also known as C7orf38, is a gene located on chromosome 7 at position q22.1. While the specific function of the protein encoded by FAM200A is not fully understood, bioinformatic analysis suggests potential roles related to DNA binding and transposition. The protein contains a hAT dimerization domain near its C-terminus, a feature common in transposase enzymes. This domain, along with similarities to zinc finger or transposase proteins observed in its orthologs, paralogs, and neighboring genes, further points to its potential involvement in these processes. However, more research is needed to fully elucidate its precise function.
FAM200A is also known as C7orf38.
