DCTN6 dynactin subunit 6

Gene ID: 10671, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: WS3; p27; WS-3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) motif in the N-terminal region, which confers adhesive properties to macromolecular proteins like fibronectin. It shares a high degree of sequence similarity with the mouse homolog, which has been suggested to play a role in mitochondrial biogenesis. The exact biological function of this gene is not known.
