CPX chromosomal region candidate gene 1 protein (CPXCR1)

CPX chromosomal region candidate gene 1 protein (CPXCR1) is a protein encoded by the CPXCR1 gene, located on the X chromosome in a region associated with the X-linked cleft palate (CPX) disorder[2][3][5]. The protein contains a sequence motif similar to those found in zinc-finger proteins, suggesting a possible role in DNA or RNA binding, but its exact biological function remains uncharacterized[2][9]. Mutation analysis has not demonstrated a causative link between CPXCR1 and cleft palate in human patients, though several alternatively spliced variants encoding the same protein have been detected[2][5]. There is no evidence for CPXCR1 being an established therapeutic target, and there are no drugs reported to interact with it in current biomedical databases[2][7]. The protein has also been referenced under the names CT77 and as a cancer/testis antigen 77, but direct functional evidence for these roles is limited.
