Description: Homo sapiens coiled-coil domain containing 6 (CCDC6), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_005436): 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]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

ID:CCDC6_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 6; AltName: Full=Papillary thyroid carcinoma-encoded protein; AltName: Full=Protein H4; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (Probable). Note=May be a cytoskeletal protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed. DOMAIN: The protein has mostly an alpha helical conformation similar to myosin heavy-chain tail that might adopt a coiled-coil conformation. DISEASE: Defects in CCDC6 are a cause of thyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC) [MIM:188550]. TPC is a common tumor of the thyroid that typically arises as an irregular, solid or cystic mass from otherwise normal thyroid tissue. Papillary carcinomas are malignant neoplasm characterized by the formation of numerous, irregular, finger-like projections of fibrous stroma that is covered with a surface layer of neoplastic epithelial cells. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving CCDC6 is found in thyroid papillary carcinomas. Inversion inv(10)(q11.2;q21) generates the RET/CCDC6 (PTC1) oncogene.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
