Gene: JMJD6

Alternate names for this Gene: PSR|PTDSR|PTDSR1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a nuclear protein with a JmjC domain. JmjC domain-containing proteins are predicted to function as protein hydroxylases or histone demethylases. This protein was first identified as a putative phosphatidylserine receptor involved in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells; however, subsequent studies have indicated that it does not directly function in the clearance of apoptotic cells, and questioned whether it is a true phosphatidylserine receptor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q25.1

Description of this Gene: jumonji domain containing 6, arginine demethylase and lysine hydroxylase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
