Reep6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Involved in regulation of intracellular transport. Located in apical part of cell; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and rod spherule. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; gut; lung; retina; and urinary system. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa 77. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 77. Orthologous to human REEP6 (receptor accessory protein 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Reep6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- TB2/DP1, HVA22 family
