Gene information for PDCD6IP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10015
Official gene symbolPDCD6IP
Full nameprogrammed cell death 6 interacting protein
Aliases,AIP1,Alix,DRIP4,HP95,MGC17003,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein thought to participate in programmed cell death. Studies using mouse cells have shown that overexpression of this protein can block apoptosis. In addition, the product of this gene binds to the product of the PDCD6 gene, a protein required for apoptosis, in a calcium-dependent manner. This gene product also binds to endophilins, proteins that regulate membrane shape during endocytosis. Overexpression of this gene product and endophilins results in cytoplasmic vacuolization, which may be partly responsible for the protection against cell death. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
