C4orf46 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a small, conserved protein of unknown function that is expressed in a variety of tissues. There are pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 6, 8, 16, and X. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2013]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human C4orf46 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
