PHF6 Gene

🧬 Gene Info
Gene SymbolPHF6
Full NamePHD Finger Protein 6
FunctionThis allows PHF6 to function as a "reader" of the histone code, translating epigenetic marks into transcriptional outcomes.
Primary Expressionhuman tissues, with high expression in the brain, particularly during development
Subcellular Localization**Nucleus**: Predominantly nuclear, with enrichment in certain nuclear compartments
Molecular Weight76 kDa
Ensembl IDENSG00000156500
GeneCardsPHF6
Human Protein AtlasPHF6
PHD Zinc Finger DomainsTwo PHD-type zinc fingers at the C-terminus that function as epigenetic reader modules
N-terminal RegionContains regions of low complexity and potential regulatory sequences
Nuclear LocalizationThe protein contains nuclear localization signals that target it to the nucleus
NucleusPredominantly nuclear, with enrichment in certain nuclear compartments
Chromatin-associatedDirect association with chromatin
Cell type variabilityLocalization patterns may vary across cell types
