Chromosome 11 open reading frame 16 (C11orf16)

Chromosome 11 open reading frame 16 (C11orf16) is an uncharacterized, protein-coding gene in humans, located on chromosome 11p15.4, spanning base pairs 8,920,076–8,933,006. The gene encodes a predicted 467-amino acid protein of ~51 kDa, with multiple phosphorylation and glycosylation motifs, and is predicted to localize primarily to the nucleus or mitochondria. Tissue expression is generally low, with higher mRNA levels observed in the pancreas, ovary, and appendix. C11orf16 does not belong to any established receptor, enzyme, or structural protein family, has no described interacting drugs or well-defined biological function, and is not known to have a clear role in human diseases or to serve as a biomarker. Literature and public databases consistently list it as a protein of unknown molecular and biological function, and there is currently insufficient evidence to classify it as a therapeutic or pharmacological target.
