CCDC47 gene is expressed at high level. The gene contains 16 distinct gt-ag introns. Transcription produces 9 different mRNAs, 6 alternatively spliced variants and 3 unspliced forms. There are 3 probable alternative promotors, 3 non overlapping alternative last exons and 8 validated alternative polyadenylation sites. The mRNAs appear to differ by truncation of the 5' end, truncation of the 3' end, presence or absence of a cassette exon, overlapping exons with different boundaries. Functionally, CCDC47 gene has been proposed to participate in processes such as calcium ion homeostasis, embryo development, ER overload response and post-embryonic development. CCDC47 are expected to have molecular function (calcium ion binding) and to localize in various compartments (membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, integral to membrane, microsome).
