Chromosome 16 open reading frame 86 (C16orf86)

C16orf86 (Chromosome 16 open reading frame 86) encodes a protein of unknown function in humans. It is annotated as a protein-coding gene, but as of now, no molecular function, mechanism of action, or protein class assignment is established. C16orf86 has not been characterized as a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or any standard molecular target type. Current evidence is limited to gene expression data suggesting its possible inclusion in multi-gene transcriptomic panels for cancer prognosis, particularly in pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but it is not known to have direct disease roles or therapeutic relevance. There are no reported drug interactions, no functional domains, and no described mechanisms of action[1][2][3][5]. In summary: C16orf86 is a protein-coding gene with unclear biological and disease relevance, lacking evidence as a therapeutic target, and currently classified as an “uncharacterized protein.”
