Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 122 (CCDC122)

Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 122 (CCDC122) is a human protein encoded by the CCDC122 gene. It contains a coiled-coil domain, but its molecular function and biological roles are currently poorly defined. Naturally occurring mutations in CCDC122 have been associated with susceptibility to leprosy, and deletions in the gene have been implicated in cancer progression such as in prostate cancer[6][7]. Beyond these associations, the protein does not belong to standard therapeutic target classes like receptor, enzyme, ion channel, or transporter, and no approved drugs or characterized mechanisms of action targeting CCDC122 are reported[6][10]. The protein is listed in clinical and bioinformatics databases, highlighting its role as a protein-coding gene, but no disease-specific therapies, biomarker roles, or safety concerns have been established based on current evidence[6][8][9].
