C6orf120 chromosome 6 open reading frame 120

Gene ID: 387263, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding

Summary

This gene encodes a conserved, N-glycosylated protein that likely functions in the cellular response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. This protein is able to induce apoptosis in vitro in CD4+ T-cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
