TMBIM6 Gene Summary [Human]

Enables endoribonuclease inhibitor activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of RNA metabolic process; negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; and response to L-glutamate. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of calcium ion transport into cytosol. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial membrane. Biomarker of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and prostate carcinoma. [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 TMBIM6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • ubiquitin protein ligase binding
  • Inhibitor of apoptosis-promoting Bax1
  • BAX inhibitor (BI)-1/YccA-like protein family
