Gene: RPL6

Alternate names for this Gene: L6|SHUJUN-2|TAXREB107|TXREB1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein component of the 60S ribosomal subunit. This protein can bind specifically to domain C of the tax-responsive enhancer element of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1, and may participate in tax-mediated transactivation of transcription. As is typical for genes encoding ribosomal proteins, there are multiple processed pseudogenes of this gene dispersed throughout the genome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q24.13

Description of this Gene: ribosomal protein L6

Type of Gene: protein-coding
