Protein level regulation

edit

C20orf202 has many phosphorylation and glycosylation sites throughout the protein.[12][13] A few of the phosphorylation sites are located in highly conserved regions of the protein.

Expression

edit

In humans, C20orf202 has moderate mRNA abundance across cells types, though higher than average expression in the kidney and heart, it is not significantly so.[14] Additionally C20orf202 expression increases during fetal development of kidney, lung, and intestinal tissues.[15]

Interacting proteins

edit

Two hybrid prey pooling followed by two hybrid array revealed that C20orf202 is predicted to interact with two other proteins: SNAPAP and HNRNPCL1.[19] SNAPAP (SNARE-associated protein) has a role in the SNARE binding complex, and is also associated with Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome and tricuspid valve stenosis.[20] HNRNPCL1 (Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein C Like 1) has a role in RNA binding and nucleosome assembly.[21]

Clinical significance

edit

C20orf202 has been associated by GWAS to multiple sclerosis.[22] Additionally, through in silico analysis, C20orf202 was identified as being involved in chromosome 20p inv dup del syndrome, a syndrome similar to trisomy 20p.[23]
