Human FAM110A is predicted to contain one standard deviation less than average frequencies of methionine, asparagine, and isoleucine residues, while containing one standard deviation higher frequencies of serine and proline residues. Human FAM110A is also predicted to contain a frequency of arginine residues two standard deviations higher than average. The presence of a high frequency of arginine residues is also apparent in the FAM110A chimpanzee, mouse, chicken and zebrafish orthologs, indicating that it may play a vital role to the function of the gene due to its high conservation.

FAM110A is predicted to be hydrophilic and soluble.{{cite web |title=SOSUI: Classification and secondary structure prediction for membrane proteins |url=http://harrier.nagahama-i-bio.ac.jp/sosui/sosui_submit.html |website=harrier.nagahama-i-bio.ac.jp |access-date=19 December 2020}}

Clinical significance

= Cancer pathogenesis =

FAM110A has been observed to be abnormally expressed in prostate cancer metastasis, where it co-localizes with E-cadherin and β-catenin at cell-cell adherens junctions,{{cite journal |last1=Tsuruta |first1=H. |last2=Verhaegh |first2=G.W. |last3=Schalken |first3=J.A. |title=The expression and function of FAM110A in human prostate cancer |journal=European Urology Supplements |date=April 2014 |volume=13 |issue=1 |pages=e303 |doi=10.1016/S1569-9056(14)60298-0}} suggesting FAM110A’s involvement in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cancer pathogenesis. The greater FAM110 gene family is aberrantly methylated in breast cancer cells,{{cite journal | vauthors = Locke WJ, Clark SJ | title = Epigenome remodelling in breast cancer: insights from an early in vitro model of carcinogenesis | journal = Breast Cancer Research | volume = 14 | issue = 6 | pages = 215 | date = November 2012 | pmid = 23168266 | pmc = 4053120 | doi = 10.1186/bcr3237 | doi-access = free }} and has been shown to be associated with reduced time to distant metastasis in breast cancer patients.

= Cell cycle involvement =

FAM110A has been found to localize to centrosomes and accumulate at the microtubule organizing center in interphase and at spindle poles in mitosis.
