CCDC37 Proteins

Protein Information

CCDC37 (Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing 37) is a gene that encodes a protein involved in various cellular functions, including cytoskeletal organization, cell motility, and signal transduction. The gene is located on chromosome 9 and plays a crucial role in maintaining cell structure and function. Research has shown that CCDC37 is epigenetically repressed in certain cancers, such as lung tumors associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methylation of the CCDC37 promoter is more prevalent in tumors from COPD patients, suggesting its role in tumor progression and possibly serving as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Additionally, CCDC37 has been implicated in the regulation of ciliary function, further highlighting its importance in cellular processes. The protein's involvement in both cancer biology and ciliary dynamics underscores its multifaceted roles in health and disease.
