| ncRNA Symbol: | JMJD6 | | Full Name: | jumonji domain containing 6, arginine demethylase and lysine hydroxylase | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | PSR|PTDSR|PTDSR1 | | Chromosome: | chr17 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 76712832 | End Site(bp): | 76726799 | | | 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
