ANKS6 ankyrin repeat and sterile alpha motif domain containing 6

Gene ID: 203286, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PKDR1; SAMD6; NPHP16; ANKRD14

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing multiple ankyrin repeats and a SAM domain. It is thought that this protein may localize to the proximal region of the primary cilium, and may play a role in renal and cardiovascular development. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause a form of nephronophthisis (NPHP16), a chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
