EFCAB6 EF-hand calcium binding domain 6

Gene ID: 64800, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DJBP; HSCBCIP1; dJ185D5.1

Summary

This gene encodes a protein which directly binds the oncogene DJ-1 and androgen receptor to form a ternary complex in cells. This binding protein recruits histone-deacetylase complexes in order to repress transcription activity of androgen receptor. This protein may also play a role in spermatogenesis and fertilization. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
