Identify the 'outline' of the first protein in humans

International researchers have identified a map of 'sketching' the first protein in humans. Thereby, tissue proteins originate from 17,000 genes in the human genome, ie about 84% of the genes in the human genome are capable of producing proteins.

Scientists conducted an extensive examination of 'extracting' proteins from 30 different tissue samples in the human body to create the first 'outline' map of all proteins in the body. people.

Research has shown that tissue proteins originate from 17,000 to 18,000 genes in the human genome. Besides, the study also found new 193 proteins in the human genome. In particular, these proteins are found in 'non-coding' DNA fragments , or non-coding regions of proteins .

According to the US National Institutes of Health, proteins are considered to form the structure, function and regulation of tissues and organs in the human body. The pieces of coded DNA will directly produce proteins. However, finding proteins in the noncoding DNA makes scientists believe that the human genome is more complex than previously thought.

The research has provided a foundation for human protein research sciences. The data will become the gold standard in the field of identifying comprehensive protein maps in the human body, by unifying methods as well as the analysis process.
