Birc6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in placenta development. Acts upstream of or within embryonic placenta development; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human BIRC6 (baculoviral IAP repeat containing 6).

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 mouse Birc6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
