PKD1P6
Description
The PKD1P6 (polycystin 1, transient receptor potential channel interacting pseudogene 6) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 16.
PKD1P6 is a gene that encodes a protein that is involved in cell signaling and cell cycle regulation. Mutations in this gene can lead to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the polycystin family and interacts with polycystin-1. It is a transmembrane protein that localizes to the centrosome and cilia.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the polycystin family, and interacts with polycystin-1. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein that localizes to the centrosome and cilia, and may play a role in cell signaling and cell cycle regulation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a genetic disorder characterized by the development of multiple cysts in the kidneys.
PKD1P6 is also known as HG6.
