Gene: CCHCR1
Alternate names for this Gene: C6orf18|HCR|SBP|pg8
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein with five coiled-coil alpha-helical rod domains that is thought to act as a regulator of mRNA metabolism through its interaction with mRNA-decapping protein 4. It localizes to P-bodies, the site of mRNA metabolism, with an N-terminus that is required for this subcellular localization, suggesting it is a P-body component. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with psoriasis.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p21.33
Description of this Gene: coiled-coil alpha-helical rod protein 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
