Gene information for WFDC6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID140870
Official gene symbolWFDC6
Full nameWAP four-disulfide core domain 6
Aliases,C20orf171,MGC126649,MGC126653,WAP6,dJ461P17.11,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the WAP-type four-disulfide core (WFDC) domain family. The WFDC domain, or WAP signature motif, contains eight cysteines forming four disulfide bonds at the core of the protein, and functions as a protease inhibitor. Most WFDC gene members are localized to chromosome 20q12-q13 in two clusters: centromeric and telomeric. This gene belongs to the telomeric cluster. Read-through transcription exists between this gene and the upstream SPINLW1 (serine peptidase inhibitor-like, with Kunitz and WAP domains 1) gene. [provided by RefSeq]
