RPL17-C18orf32
Description
The RPL17-C18ORF32 (RPL17-C18orf32 readthrough) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 18.
RPL17-C18ORF32 is a fusion gene created by the merging of the RPL17 gene, which encodes a ribosomal protein, and the C18ORF32 gene, whose function is currently unknown. The resulting fusion gene produces a protein with a combination of RPL17 and C18ORF32 components, but its specific role in the cell remains unclear.
The fusion gene RPL17-C18ORF32 is a chimeric transcript resulting from the fusion of ribosomal protein L17 (RPL17) and the uncharacterized gene C18ORF32. The functional implications of this fusion gene are currently unknown, and further research is needed to elucidate its role in cellular processes and potential disease associations.
RPL17-C18ORF32 is also known as PD-1, RPL17.
