About IFI6

Cytogenetic location: 1p35.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:27,666,064-27,672,192 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 89 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 111.6), salivary gland (RPKM 40.6) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

This gene was first identified as one of the many genes induced by interferon. The encoded protein may play a critical role in the regulation of Apoptosis. A minisatellite that consists of 26 repeats of a 12 nucleotide repeating element resembling the mammalian splice donor consensus sequence begins near the end of the second exon. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms by using the two downstream repeat units as splice donor sites have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
