The C9orf95 gene is composed of several exons and introns, which are segments of DNA that are transcribed into RNA. The exons are the coding regions that are ultimately translated into the protein, while the introns are non-coding regions that are spliced out during RNA processing. The protein encoded by C9orf95 is a recombinant protein, meaning it is produced through recombinant DNA technology, which involves inserting the gene into a host organism (such as bacteria) to produce the protein in large quantities.
Although the precise biological function of C9orf95 is not fully understood, it is thought to be involved in various cellular processes, including cell signaling, growth, and differentiation. Proteins encoded by ORFs like C9orf95 are often studied to understand their role in health and disease. Research on C9orf95 may provide insights into its potential involvement in certain medical conditions or its utility as a biomarker for disease.
Recombinant proteins like C9orf95 are valuable tools in scientific research and medicine. They can be used in various applications, including:
