''UTP4'' is a gene that encodes the protein Cirhin, the gene is also known as ''CIRH1A'' and ''NAIC''.
This protein contains a
WD40 repeat and is localized to the nucleolus where it colocates with
UTP15 and
WDR43. Biallelic mutations to ''UTP4'' have been associated with
North American Indian childhood cirrhosis, a form of inherited
cirrhosis of the liver occurring in American Indian children from the Abitibi region of northern Quebec.
