FAM116A Activateurs

FAM116A, also known as C11orf31, is a protein encoded by the FAM116A gene located on chromosome 11 in humans. The exact functions of FAM116A remain unclear, but it belongs to a group of proteins denoted by the prefix "FAM," indicating "Family with sequence similarity." This designation suggests that FAM116A is part of a broader family of proteins that may share structural domains or functional characteristics.

Although detailed functional insights are limited, predictive bioinformatic analyses suggest that FAM116A may have roles in cellular processes based on its protein domain architecture and evolutionary conservation. Such roles could involve regulation of intracellular signaling pathways, cellular trafficking, or other fundamental cellular activities. The presence of specific domains within the protein structure could indicate potential enzymatic activities or interactions with other cellular molecules.The tissue distribution and expression levels of the FAM116A gene might provide further clues regarding its biological significance. For example, if the gene is highly expressed in particular tissues or during critical stages of development, it might play a role in tissue-specific processes or developmental biology.
