Chromosome 16 open reading frame 46 is a 388 amino acid protein of unknown function in homo sapiens, with NCBI accession number of NM_001100873. An alternative name for this gene is FLJ32702, however it is most commonly referred to as C16orf46. This gene is conserved in many organisms including the dog, cow, mouse, rat, frog, chimpanzee, and rhesus monkey. It is found in the cytosol, nucleoplasm, and nucleus and interacts with antioxidant (+)-catechin, 4-\{[(5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2- yl)carbonyl]amino\}benzoic acid, and methyl methanesulfonate. C16orf26 is found on chromosome 16q23.2 reverse strand and broadly expressed in the testis and thyroid as well as 18 other tissues. It is a protein-coding gene with an overlapping locus.
