01
Overview
Family with sequence similarity 243 member A (FAM243A), also known as chromosome 21 open reading frame 140 (C21orf140), is a human protein-coding gene located on chromosome 21. The protein is uncharacterized, meaning its biological function, structure, and physiological importance are not well understood. There is some suggestion it may play a role in cellular responses to oxidative and inflammatory stress, but this remains speculative and not experimentally confirmed. FAM243A is not classified as a therapeutic target, nor does it currently have associations with drugs, disease, or biomarker use.
