C10orf47, Chromosome 10 open reading frame 47, CJ047_HUMAN, Hypothetical protein LOC254427, MGC35403, Uncharacterized protein C10orf47.
C10orf47 is a 435 amino acid protein that exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms that are encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 10. Spanning nearly 135 million base pairs, chromosome 10 makes up approximately 4.5% of total DNA in cells and encodes nearly 1,200 genes. Several protein-coding genes, including those that encode for chemokines, cadherins, excision repair proteins, early growth response factors (Egrs) and fibroblast growth receptors (FGFRs), are located on chromosome 10. Defects in some of the genes that map to chromosome 10 are associated with Charcot-Marie Tooth disease, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Usher syndrome, nonsyndromatic deafness, Wolman?s syndrome, Cowden syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and porphyria.
