Chromosome 11 open reading frame 71 (C11orf71)

Chromosome 11 open reading frame 71 (C11orf71) is a largely uncharacterized human protein encoded by the C11orf71 gene located on chromosome 11[1][6]. Limited biological information is available: it is reported as a cytoplasmic protein of 123–147 amino acids, with no identified transmembrane domain or known functional motifs[6][2]. Protein interaction predictions suggest possible association with proteins such as transmembrane family proteins, zinc finger proteins, and E3 ubiquitin ligase, but no well-validated cellular functions or mechanistic roles are established[2]. C11orf71 is also known by aliases such as FLJ20010 and URLC7, and has been described as "up-regulated in lung cancer 7," hinting at a possible implication in malignancy, though direct functional or clinical relevance in cancer remains uncharacterized[1][6]. No drugs or biomarker roles are known, and it is not considered a defined therapeutic target, receptor, or enzyme.
