Ankyrin Repeat Domain Protein 33 (ANKRD33)

C12orf7

Ankyrin Repeat Domain Protein 33 (ANKRD33)
The initial sequences of were retrieved from cluster Hs.433492 which contained ten 5’- and 3’-ESTs which had been sequenced from five different clones. Four of the five clones were from the Soares retina library, the fifth was sequenced from the Soares placenta library.The longest cDNA sequence of C12orf7, excluding possibly unspliced transcripts, is 1709 bp long and is organized in six exons distributed along 3.6 kb of genomic sequence. Alignment to the human genome assembly identifies the C12orf7 gene locus within chromosomal band 12q13.13.
C12orf7 is expressed at high levels only in the retina as shown by amplification with primers A38F4/R3 in a panel of 20 human tissues. Weak expression could be observed in brain, fetal brain, liver, trachea, spleen, testis, and salivary gland.
