Exosc6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in isotype switching. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of isotype switching. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be part of cytoplasmic exosome (RNase complex) and nuclear exosome (RNase complex). Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gonad; liver; retina; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human EXOSC6 (exosome component 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 Exosc6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- RNase PH-like 3'-5' exoribonucleases
- archaeal exosome-like complex exonuclease 1
- 3' exoribonuclease family, domain 1
