TMPRSS6 transmembrane serine protease 6 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 164656)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 164656)
Symbol: TMPRSS6
Full name: transmembrane serine protease 6
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: IRIDA; MT2
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a type II transmembrane serine proteinase that is found attached to the cell surface. The encoded protein may be involved in matrix remodeling processes in the liver. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
Expression: Biased expression in liver (RPKM 19.4), stomach (RPKM 1.7) and 1 other tissue
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 45101bp
Exon count: 22
