Human Gene MPIG6B (ENST00000375809.7) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens megakaryocyte and platelet inhibitory receptor G6b (MPIG6B), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_025260) RefSeq Summary (NM_025260): This gene is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region. The protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylated, plasma membrane-bound cell surface receptor, but soluble isoforms encoded by some transcript variants have been found in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi before being secreted. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000375809.7 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000204420.10 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr6:31,723,373-31,726,714 Size: 3,342 Total Exon Count: 6 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr6:31,723,384-31,725,043 Size: 1,660 Coding Exon Count: 6
ID:G6B_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Protein G6b; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Inhibits platelet aggregation and activation by agonists such as ADP and collagen-related peptide. Appears to operate in a calcium-independent manner. Isoform B is a putative inhibitory receptor. Isoform A may be its activating counterpart. SUBUNIT: Interacts with PTPN6 and PTPN11. Binds to heparin. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform E: Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform D: Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform B: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform A: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in a restricted set of hematopoietic cell lines including the erythroleukemia cell line K-562 and the T-cell leukemia cell lines MOLT-4 and Jurkat. Not detected in the monocyte-like cell line U-937, the B-cell-like cell line Raji, the fibroblast cell lines TK and HeLa, or the natural killer cell lines NKL, NK 62 and YT. Expressed in platelets. PTM: All isoforms are N-glycosylated. PTM: Isoform E is O-glycosylated.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

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.
