= PRR16 = Proline-rich protein 16 (PRR16) is a protein coding gene in Homo sapiens. The protein is known by the alias Largen.

Locus
PRR16 is located on the long arm of chromosome 5. It is found at position 5q23.1. It has five known transcripts.

Gene Neighborhood
Cytogenic band: 5q23.1



The image above shows chromosome five and the various gene locations on it. PRR16 can be seen at the thin red band that has been placed at q23.

Size
PRR16 spans 330,365 bases and encodes for a mRNA that is 1,707 nucleotides. The resulting protein is 304 amino acids long.

Splice Variants
PRR16 has five known splice variants, each with a different processed transcript.

Isoforms
There are three known isoforms of PRR16. Isoform 2 contains an additional exon in the 5' region, and it thus differs in the 5' UTR and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. Isoform 3 has two variants. The first contains an alternate 5' terminal exon, and it thus differs in the 5' UTR and initiates translation at a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The second contains alternate 5' exon structure, and it thus differs in the 5' UTR and initiates translation at a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. All three isoforms are shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

Primary Structure
The PRR16 protein is 304 amino acids in length. It has a molecular weight of 32.8 kDa and an isoelectric point of 8.09. The protein does not interact with the membrane.

Secondary Structure
The only predictable feature of the PRR16 protein is an α-helix near the N-terminus, spanning about thirty amino acids. The remainder of the protein is comprised of a disordered structure.

Tertiary Structure
This structure was predicted by analyzing the amino acid sequence using I-TASSER. The final result can be seen below.

= Subcellular Location = The k-NN tool suggests the location of PRR16 in the nucleus of the cell with 52.2% certainty. The cytoplasm was predicted with 30.4% certainty, The following locations were predicted with 4.3% certainty: cytoskeleton, plasma membrane, mitochondria, and peroxisome.

Expression
The PRR16 gene is expressed at very low levels throughout the body. It is expressed in the skeletal muscle, heart, lung, skin, portions of the brain, and bone marrow.

Paralogs
There are two isoforms of Inhibitory synaptic factor 1 that are known paralogs of PRR16.

Orthologs
PRR16 is found in all classes of vertebrates, including mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. The most distant ortholog of PRR16 is in Branchiostoma belcheri and Branchiostoma floridae, which diverged an estimated 684 million years ago. The gene has not been found in any plants, fungi or single celled organisms. The table below compares the known orthologs.
