Ideogram of human chromosome 4. Mbp means mega base pair. See locus for other notation.

Chromosome 4 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 4 spans more than 186 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 6 and 6.5 percent of the total DNA in cells.

Genomics

The chromosome is ~191 megabases in length. 757 protein encoding genes have been identified on this chromosome to date.[2] 211 (27.9%) of these coding sequences currently do not have any experimental evidence at the protein level. 271 appear to be membrane proteins. 54 have been classified as cancer associated proteins.
