Chromosome 6 open reading frame 62 (C6orf62), also known as X-trans-activated protein 12 (XTP12), is a gene that encodes a protein of the same name. The encoded protein is predicted to have a subcellular location within the cytosol.

Gene
In the DNA, C6orf62 is 12,529 base pairs long and is located at 6q22.3. It is located on chromosome 6 on position 22.3 (6q22.3). The mature mRNA sequence is 2498 base-pairs long with 5 exons and 4 intronic regions that translates a protein that is 229 amino acids long and a second isoform that is 200 amino acids long.

Transcript
Transcription of the gene is dependent on trans-activation of the X-protein of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) through second message signaling with Serine and Threonine Kinases. The mature mRNA is 2,498 base-pairs long with 5 exons and 4 intronic regions. There are two isoform

Protein
The gene encodes for two protein isoforms. Isoform 1 is 229 amino acids encoded from 5 exons, while isoform 2 encodes for a protein that is 220 amino acids long encoded from 4 exons.

Homology
C6orf62 is highly conserved among vertebrates.
