Family with sequence similarity 98 member C (FAM98C)
- Target
- FAM98C
- Molecular classification
- Protein of unknown specific function; possible member of tRNA-splicing ligase complex (predicted only), "Other" (no evidence that it is a receptor, enzyme, transporter, ion channel, transcription factor, or histone modifier), Protein coding gene
01
Overview
FAM98C (Family with sequence similarity 98 member C) is a protein-coding gene with uncertain biological and molecular function. The protein is widely expressed in cytoplasm and nucleus across many human tissues. It is predicted to be part of the tRNA splicing ligase complex, but this function is not experimentally confirmed. FAM98C has been nominated as a candidate gene for certain rare genetic diseases (including ciliopathies), but is not directly implicated as a therapeutic target, receptor, or enzyme. Its molecular class falls under "protein of unknown function." There is no evidence for drug interactions, established disease roles outside rare genetic syndromes, or utility as a biomarker or drug target.
