CCDC134

Human coiled-coil domain containing 134 (CCDC134) is a 229 amino acids secretory protein. Coiled-coil domain is a motif in which alpha-helix are coiled together. It has been found in many types of proteins, including transcription factors, intermediate filaments and certain tRNA synthetases. Many proteins containing such motif CCDC134 are involved in important biological functions. CCDC134 is also considered as a novel human MAPK-regulating protein that can inhibit the MAPK pathway. This protein significantly inhibite Elk1 transcriptional activity. The coiled-coil domain is a ubiquitous protein motif that is often involved in oligomerization.
