Summary

The protein encoded by this gene has three tetratricopeptide repeats and is a chaperone for heat shock protein 70. The encoded protein may function as a tumor suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) since it promotes apoptosis but is downregulated in HCC. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the TTC36 was downregulated in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of heavier monozygotic co-twins discordant for body mass index [Muniandy et al. DOI:10.1038/ijo.2017.95].
