Gene information for PARD6A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID50855
Official gene symbolPARD6A
Full namepar-6 partitioning defective 6 homolog alpha (C. elegans)
Aliases,PAR-6A,PAR6,PAR6C,PAR6alpha,TAX40,TIP-40,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the PAR6 family and encodes a protein with a PSD95/Discs-large/ZO1 (PDZ) domain and a semi-Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain. This cell membrane protein is involved in asymmetrical cell division and cell polarization processes as a member of a multi-protein complex. The protein also has a role in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) that characterizes the invasive phenotype associated with metastatic carcinomas. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
