Gene information for CHMP6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID79643
Official gene symbolCHMP6
Full namechromatin modifying protein 6
Aliases,FLJ11749,VPS20,
Gene summaryCHMP6 belongs to the chromatin-modifying protein/charged multivesicular body protein (CHMP) family. These proteins are components of ESCRT-III (endosomal sorting complex required for transport III), a complex involved in degradation of surface receptor proteins and formation of endocytic multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Some CHMPs have both nuclear and cytoplasmic/vesicular distributions, and one such CHMP, CHMP1A (MIM 164010), is required for both MVB formation and regulation of cell cycle progression (Tsang et al., 2006 [PubMed 16730941]).[supplied by OMIM]
