Gem-associated protein 6


Gem-associated protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GEMIN6 gene.The gem-associated proteins are those found in the gems of Cajal bodies.

Function

GEMIN6 is part of a large macromolecular complex, the SMN localized to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus, that plays a role in the cytoplasmic assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. Other members of this complex include SMN, GEMIN2, GEMIN3, GEMIN4, and GEMIN5.

Interactions

Gem-associated protein 6 has been shown to interact with gem-associated protein 7.
