C7orf50  C7orf50 (Chromosome 7, Open Reading Frame 50) is a gene in humans ("Homo sapiens") that encodes a protein known as C7orf50 (uncharacterized protein C7orf50). This gene is ubiquitously expressed in the kidneys, brain, fat, prostate, spleen, among 22 other tissues and demonstrates low tissue specificity. C7orf50 is conserved in chimpanzees, Rhesus monkeys, dogs, cows, mice, rats, and chickens, along with 307 other organisms from mammals to fungi. This protein is predicted to be involved with the import of ribosomal proteins into the nucleus to be assembled into ribosomal subunits as a part of rRNA processing. Additionally, this gene is predicted to be a microRNA (miRNA) protein coding host gene"," meaning that it may contain miRNA genes in its introns and/or exons"." C7orf50, also known as YCR016W, MGC11257, and LOC84310, is a protein coding gene of poor characterization in need of further research. This gene can be accessed on NCBI at the accession number NC_000007.14, on HGNC at the ID number 22421, on ENSEMBL at the ID ENSG00000146540, on GeneCards at GCID:GC07M000996, and on UniProtKB at the ID Q9BRJ6. C7orf50 is located on the short arm of chromosome 7 (7p22.3), starting at base pair (bp) 977,964 and ending at bp 1,138,325. This gene spans 160,361 bps on the minus (-) strand and contains a total of 13 exons. Genes within the neighborhood of C7orf50 are the following: LOC105375120, GPR146, LOC114004405, LOC107986755, ZFAND2A, LOC102723758, LOC106799841, COX19, ADAP1, CYP2W1, MIR339, GPER1, and LOC101927021. This neighborhood extends from bp 89700 to bp 1165958 on chromosome 7. C7orf50 has a total of 7 experimentally curated mRNA transcripts. These transcripts are maintained independently of annotated genomes and were not generated computationally from a specific genome build such as the GRCh38.p13 primary assembly; therefore, they are typically more reliable.
