SRSF6 serine and arginine rich splicing factor 6

Gene ID: 6431, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: B52; SFRS6; SRP55; HEL-S-91

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in mRNA splicing and may play a role in the determination of alternative splicing. The encoded nuclear protein belongs to the splicing factor SR family and has been shown to bind with and modulate another member of the family, SFRS12. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. In addition, two pseudogenes, one on chromosome 17 and the other on the X chromosome, have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
