Gene information for BAG6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7917
Official gene symbolBAG6
Full nameHLA-B associated transcript 3
Aliases,BAG-6,BAT3,D6S52E,G3,
Gene summaryThis gene was first characterized as part of a cluster of genes located within the human major histocompatibility complex class III region. This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is cleaved by caspase 3 and is implicated in the control of apoptosis. In addition, the protein forms a complex with E1A binding protein p300 and is required for the acetylation of p53 in response to DNA damage. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
