Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n C5orf46 is an emerging gene that encodes a small protein with dual functions in host defense and cancer biology. On one hand, the product of C5orf46 has been identified as an antimicrobial peptide with antibacterial and anti‐inflammatory properties, suggesting a role in the innate immune response within epithelial tissues such as the skin and oral cavity."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " On the other hand, studies in renal cancer have revealed that C5orf46 is highly expressed in tumor tissues and is associated with a poor prognosis.
