Family with sequence similarity 216 member B (FAM216B)

Family with sequence similarity 216 member B (FAM216B) is a protein-coding gene located on human chromosome 13, encoding a small protein of 139 amino acids. FAM216B has no currently characterized biochemical activity, known biological pathway, or defined cellular function; it has not been implicated as a therapeutic target, biomarker, or major disease driver. Expression data indicate presence in a variety of tissues, but no functional significance has been firmly established. FAM216B is sometimes also referred to by its older locus-based name, C13orf30. To date, detailed molecular interactions, disease implications, roles in core biological processes, or specific protein classes remain unknown, and further research is needed to clarify its function.
