CCDC6 coiled-coil domain containing 6

Gene ID: 8030, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: H4; PTC; TPC; PTC1; TST1; D10S170

Summary

This gene encodes a coiled-coil domain-containing protein. The encoded protein is ubiquitously expressed and may function as a tumor suppressor. A chromosomal rearrangement resulting in the expression of a fusion gene containing a portion of this gene and the intracellular kinase-encoding domain of the ret proto-oncogene is the cause of thyroid papillary carcinoma.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
