C11ORF52

Chr 11

chromosome 11 open reading frame 52

The protein encoded by C11ORF52 is located in extracellular exosomes, but its specific function remains unclear. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants (pLI = 0.00003), suggesting it plays an essential role in human development or cellular function, though no associated human diseases have been definitively established.
