NUDT6
Description
The NUDT6 (nudix hydrolase 6) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.
Nucleoside diphosphate-linked moiety X motif 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NUDT6 gene. FGF2 (MIM 134920) is a highly conserved, multifunctional heparin-binding growth factor involved in neuroectoderm development, angiogenesis, and wound healing. Elevated levels of FGF2 are associated with proliferation of smooth muscle in atherosclerosis and with proliferation of tumors.
NUDT6 may play a role in regulating cell proliferation.
NUDT6 is also known as ASFGF2, FGF-AS, FGF2AS, GFG-1, GFG1.
