Proline-rich protein 23E (PRR23E)

Proline-rich protein 23E (PRR23E) is a human protein encoded by the PRR23E gene. It belongs to the proline-rich protein family, which are characterized by stretches of proline-rich repeats and often act as intrinsically disordered proteins, facilitating flexible protein–protein interactions[3][2]. However, there is no evidence that PRR23E is a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or established therapeutic target. The protein is encoded on human chromosome 3, locus 3q24 (gene symbol C3orf56)[3][7]. There are no known diseases, molecular functions, or drug associations directly linked to PRR23E. The PRR23E gene has important paralogs, including PRR23B[3]. While other proline-rich proteins are implicated in functions such as binding polyphenols in saliva or acting as flexible interaction domains, no specific functional, clinical, or therapeutic attributes have been attributed to PRR23E[2][3]. Current research provides only limited information, with no established roles as a therapeutic target, receptor, or enzyme. If you need mapping to a standardized therapeutic target ontology, PRR23E is not currently recognized as a therapeutic target nor classified into established drug-target families.
