CCDC169, which stands for "Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 169," is a protein encoded by the gene with the same name. As indicated by its name, this protein is characterized by the presence of a coiled-coil domain, a structural motif that often mediates protein-protein interactions and is involved in a variety of cellular functions.

The coiled-coil domain is typically composed of alpha-helices that wind around each other to form a supercoil structure. This motif is known to play roles in the formation of cytoskeletal structures, vesicle trafficking, and the assembly of multiprotein complexes, suggesting that CCDC169 may similarly be involved in these or related cellular activities.The expression pattern of CCDC169 can provide clues to its function. If it has tissue-specific or developmentally regulated expression, it might suggest a specialized role in certain cell types or during specific stages of growth or differentiation. Furthermore, any association of the CCDC169 gene with disease states, either through mutation or altered expression levels, could offer insights into its functional importance in health and disease.
