Gene: FKBP6

Alternate names for this Gene: FKBP36

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a cis-trans peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that may function in immunoregulation and basic cellular processes involving protein folding and trafficking. This gene is located in a chromosomal region that is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome. Defects in this gene may cause male infertility. There are multiple pseudogenes for this gene located nearby on chromosome 7. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7q11.23

Description of this Gene: FKBP prolyl isomerase family member 6 (inactive)

Type of Gene: protein-coding
