DCTN6, Official Symbol DCTN6provided by HGNC Official Full Name dynactin subunit 6provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:16964 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000104671 MIM:612963; AllianceGenome:HGNC:16964 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo 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.
