Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BIRC6 gene.

Function

This gene encodes a protein with a BIR domain and a UBCc domain. This protein inhibits apoptosis by facilitating the degradation of apoptotic proteins by ubiquitination.

Interactions

BIRC6 has been shown to interact with KIF23.

Diseases
