Gene information for INSL6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11172
Official gene symbolINSL6
Full nameinsulin-like 6
Aliases,RIF1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene contains a classical signature of the insulin superfamily and is significantly similar to relaxin and relaxin-like factor. This gene is preferentially expressed in testis. Its expression in testis is restricted to interstitial cells surrounding seminiferous tubules, which suggests a role in sperm development and fertilization. [provided by RefSeq]
