ARL6IP6

ARL6IP6 is a gene that encodes for the protein ARL6IP6. This gene is located on chromosome 16 in humans. ARL6IP6 is a member of the ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein family and plays a role in intracellular vesicle trafficking.

Function

ARL6IP6 is involved in regulating vesicle trafficking within cells. It interacts with other proteins to facilitate the movement of vesicles between different cellular compartments. This process is essential for maintaining proper cellular function and organization.

Structure

The ARL6IP6 protein consists of amino acid residues and contains specific domains that are important for its function in vesicle trafficking. These domains allow ARL6IP6 to interact with other proteins and vesicles to coordinate the transport of cargo within cells.

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the ARL6IP6 gene have been associated with certain genetic disorders that affect vesicle trafficking and cellular function. Understanding the role of ARL6IP6 in these conditions can provide insights into potential therapeutic strategies for treating these disorders.
