Chromosome 2 Open Reading Frame 68 (C2orf68)

Target: C2orf68
Molecular classification: Protein (UPF0561 family), Other

Overview

C2orf68 is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2p11.2. It is classified within the UPF0561 family and has been associated with promoting tumorigenesis, particularly in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, it is linked to Kaufman Oculocerebrofacial Syndrome and Deafness, Autosomal Recessive 88. However, its specific biological functions are not well-documented, and it is not typically considered a therapeutic target like a receptor or enzyme.
