TNRC6C Gene Summary [Human]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in gene silencing by miRNA; positive regulation of nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay; and positive regulation of nuclear-transcribed mRNA poly(A) tail shortening. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in P-body and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human TNRC6C often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
