C6orf136 (Chromosome 6 Open Reading Frame 136) is a protein in humans (Homo sapiens) encoded by the C6orf136 gene. The gene is conserved in mammals, mollusks, as well some porifera.[5] While the function of the gene is currently unknown, C6orf136 has been shown to be hypermethylated in response to FOXM1 expression in Head Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) tissue cells.[6] Additionally, elevated expression of C6orf136 has been associated with improved survival rates in patients with bladder cancer.[7] C6orf136 has three known isoforms.
