C20orf141
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Chromosome 20 open reading frame 141 (c20orf141) is a protein encoded by the c20orf141 gene in Humans . Human c20orf141 is located on the short arm of Chromosome 20 in region 1 and band 3. It is a single-pass membrane protein predicted to be localized in the membrane, and is a member of the uncharacterized DUF5562 (PF17717) protein superfamily.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “C20orf141” is protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through C20orf141, Protein-coding and gene, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 30, 2025.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
