Chromosome 12 open reading frame 56 (C12orf56)

Target: C12orf56
Molecular classification: Other (Protein of uncharacterized/unknown function; no evidence for classification into common functional families like receptor, enzyme, transporter, etc.)

Overview

Chromosome 12 open reading frame 56 (C12orf56) is a protein-coding gene in humans with no well-characterized protein function. Transcriptomic and association studies implicate differential expression of C12orf56 in several tissues and diseases, including neurological disorders such as Dystonia 12 and Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood. Despite its inclusion in numerous genomic datasets, the molecular and cellular functions of C12orf56 remain unknown, and it is not currently classified as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or other characterized drug target. No drugs, mechanisms of action, or validated biomarkers are associated with C12orf56 at this time[1][2][5][7].

Other names: C12orf56CL056 (UniProt protein name)CL056_HUMAN (UniProt protein symbol)

Biological functions

Other (Function currently uncharacterized or unknown. Associations exist in large-scale datasets, but no defined biological function has been established in literature or curated databases.)

Disease associations

Other (Associative evidence from gene expression and GWAS studies link C12orf56 to various diseases, including Dystonia 12 and Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood, but no established mechanistic disease role is defined)
