Programmed cell death protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PDCD6 gene.[3]

This gene encodes a calcium-binding protein belonging to the penta-EF-hand protein family. Calcium binding is important for homodimerization and for conformational changes required for binding to other protein partners. This gene product participates in T cell receptor-, Fas-, and glucocorticoid-induced programmed cell death. In mice deficient for this gene product, however, apoptosis was not blocked suggesting this gene product is functionally redundant.[4]

Interactions

PDCD6 has been shown to interact with ASK1,[5] PDCD6IP,[6][7] Fas receptor,[8] ANXA11[7] and PEF1.[9]
