GGCT protein catalyzes the formation of 5-oxoproline from gamma-glutamyl dipeptides and takes an important part in glutathione homeostasis. GGCT induces release of cytochrome c from mitochondria with resultant induction of apoptosis.

mRNA turnover protein 4 homolog (MRTO4) is a member of the ribosomal protein L10P family. MRTO4 is a protein sharing a low level of sequence similarity with ribosomal protein P0. Though the precise function of the MRTO4 is presently unknown, it seems to be involved in mRNA turnover and ribosome assembly. MRTO4 is a nucleolar component of the ribosome assembly apparatus which shares remarkable similarity and contends for binding to the 25S rRNA GAR domain with the ribosomal protein P0. The MRTO4 gene is located on human chromosome 1, which extends over 260 million base pairs, is comprised of over 3,000 genes and contains approximately 8% of the human genome.

GLOD4 is a part of the glyoxalase system which is a group of enzymes that is in charge of the detoxification of methylglyoxal and other reactive aldehydes that are usually produced in metabolism. The mitochondrial protein GLOD4 is known to interact with NUDT9.

TBC1 domain family member 22B, also known as TBC1D22B acts as a GTPase-activating protein for Rab family protein. The Tre-2/Bub2/Cdc16 (TBC) domain is a conserved protein motif which consists of roughly 200 amino acids and functions as a specific Rab-GAP domain. The TBC domain has more than 40 distinct TBC domain-containing proteins which have been identified in humans.

N-6 Adenine-Specific DNA Methyltransferase 1, also known as N6AMT1 is part of the methyltransferase family. N6AMT1 is implicated in the methylation of release factor I during translation termination. In addition, N6AMT1 is involved in converting the arsenic metabolite monomethylarsonous acid to the less toxic dimethylarsonic acid.

GID Complex Subunit 8, also known as GID8 is a member of the GID8 family. GID8 was recognized through a two hybrid-associated protein screen with RanBPM. GID8 acts together with RanBP9 and includes a protein complex with RanBPM and Muskelin.

VCPKMT is a member of the methyltransferase superfamily. VCPKMT is a protein-lysine N-methyltransferase which specifically trimethylates 'Lys-315' of VCP/p97; this alteration reduces VCP ATPase activity.

MMADHC is a mitochondrial protein which takes part in an early step of vitamin B1 2 metabolism. Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is vital for regular development and existence in humans. Mutations in MMADHC can result in methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria type cblD, a cobalamin metabolism syndrome which is characterized by decreased levels of the coenzymes methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin.

BEN domain-containing protein 6 (BEND6) is a neural BEN-solo factor which shares many functional attributes with Drosophila Insensitive, a co-repressor for the Drosophila CSL factor. The BEND6 protein binds the mammalian CSL protein CBF1 and antagonizes Notch-dependent target activation. Furthermore, its association with Notch- and CBF1-regulated enhancers is stimulated by CBF1 and antagonized by activated Notch. In utero electroporation experiments demonstrated that ectopic BEND6 impeded Notch-mediated self-renewal of neocortical neural stem cells and promoted neurogenesis.

Adipogenesis Associated, Mth938 Domain Containing, also known as AAMDC is a member of the AAMDC family and takes part in preadipocyte differentiation andadipogenesis.

Metallophosphoesterase domain containing 2 (MPPED2) is a member of the UPF0046 family. MPPED2 displays low metallophosphoesterase activity, in vitro. In addition, MPPED2 encodes a metallophosphoesterase. MPPED2 may take part in the development of the nervous system, brain development. Among the diseases associated with MPPED2 are wagr syndrome, and aniridia.

Diphthamide Biosynthesis 3 Pseudogene 1 also known as DPH3P1 may stand for a processed pseudogene of DPH3 since it lacks the exon/intron structurefound in the functional gene. Yet, DPH3P1 does contain an intact open reading frame, though its translation has not been established.

Nicotinamide Nucleotide Adenylyltransferase 2, also known as NMNAT2 is a member of the nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT) enzyme family, members of which catalyze a vital step in NAD (NADP) biosynthetic pathway. Unlike the other human family member, which is localized to the nucleus, and is ubiquitously expressed; NMNAT2 is cytoplasmic, and is predominantly expressed in the brain. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for NMNAT2. Among the diseases associated with NMNAT2 are tauopathy, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

N-terminal Xaa-Pro-Lys N-methyltrasferase1, also known as NTMT1 belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. NTMT1 catalyzesthe transfer of the methyl group from the S-adenosyl-l-methionine to the protein ?-amine, resulting in the formation of S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine and ?-N-methylated proteins. NTMT1 is a remarkable potential anticancer targetsince it is overexpressed in gastrointestinal cancers in addition to his essential function in cell mitosis.

SCP2 sterol-binding domain containing 1 also known as SCP2D1 contains 1 SCP2 domain. One of the diseases associated with SCP2D1 is d-bifunctional protein deficiency.

SNURF is an extremely basic protein restricted to the nucleus. The evolutionarily reserved open reading frame is located on a bicistronic transcript which has a downstream ORF encoding the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N. The first three exons of the transcript are exploited by the upstream coding region which is known as an imprinting center. The full-length nature of these transcripts is yet to be determined but multiple transcription initiation sites have been identified and large scale alternative splicing takes place in the 5' untranslated region. An alternate exon which substitutes for exon 4 and leads to a truncated, monocistronic transcript was identified. Deletion or alternative splicing produced by a translocation event in the 5' UTR or coding region of this gene results in Prader-Willi syndrome or Angelman syndrome because of parental imprint switch failure.

CBX3 takes part in transcriptional silencing in heterochromatin-like complexes. CBX3 identifies and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', thereby create an epigenetic repression. Additionally, CBX3 takes part in the formation of functional kinetochore by interacting with MIS12 complex proteins.
