PRR29
Description
The PRR29 (proline rich 29) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 17.
PRR29 (proline-rich protein 29) is a protein encoded by the PRR29 gene located on human chromosome 17 at position 17q23. Its function is not entirely clear, but it's believed to play a role in communication between the nucleus and mitochondria, possibly involved in cellular signaling and energy production. The protein is named for the chain of five proline amino acids near its end. Its main domain is known as DUF4587. PRR29 is expressed at high levels in tissues related to the circulatory and immune systems. The gene is also called C17orf72. It spans 5961 base pairs and comprises five exons, located on the long arm of chromosome 17 (17q23.3), starting at position 63998344 and ending at 64004305.
The precise function of PRR29 is not fully understood. It is hypothesized to be a nuclear protein that facilitates communication between the nucleus and mitochondria. This suggests a role in cellular signaling and possibly energy production.
PRR29 is also known as C17orf72.
