Gene: TGM6

Alternate names for this Gene: SCA35|TG6|TGM3L|TGY|dJ734P14.3

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the transglutaminase superfamily. It catalyzes the cross-linking of proteins and the conjugation of polyamines to proteins. Mutations in this gene are associated with spinocerebellar ataxia type 35 (SCA35). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20p13

Description of this Gene: transglutaminase 6

Type of Gene: protein-coding
