C17orf62 Gene
C17orf62 gene - the gene sequence encoded on the 17 chromosome of a human genome. It is thought that it is a death-inducing gene. The coded protein is 187 amino acid long. On the 168 position of the amino acid chain there is a phosphoserine modification.

Structure
The gene starts at 82,442,586 bp from pter and ends at 82,450,831 bp from pter and has 23 alternative splicing forms. The protein weights 20774 Da.

Function
The protein encoded by the gene seems to be expressed in every type of human tissue except squamous epithelial cells. The RNA coding for the protein can be found in bigger amounts in the cells of the immune system, especially in the cells of spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes tissues. Antibodies used for binding to the expressed protein can be found mainly in the cell plasma membrane and cell junctions. While the protein activity is found to be low to medium in the human cancer cells.

Homologs
There has been homologs found in chimpanzee (P. troglodytes), rhesus monkeys (M. mulatta), dogs (C. lupus familiaris), cattle (B. Taurus), mice (M. musculus), Norway rat (R. norvegicus), chicken (G. gallus), tropical clawed frog (X. tropicalis), zebrafish (D. rerio).
