The gene CCDC6 (Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 6) is mapped to human chromosome 10q21. CCDC6 is ubiquitously expressed. The protein localizes in the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
Synonyms: Anti-Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 6; Anti-Papillary thyroid carcinoma-encoded protein; Anti-Protein H4
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-CCDC6 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: CCDC6 (Coiled-coil domain-containing protein 6) mainly participates in apoptosis and DNA damage response. Down-regulation of CCDC6 weakens DNA damage responses and reduces number of RAD51 (DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 1) positive foci. CCDC6 is rearranged in papillary thyroid carcinomas and some lung cancers forming CCDC6-RET (Proto-oncogene c-Ret) fusion. It is down-regulated in the primary testicular germ cell tumors.
