GPC6 encodes glypican 6 (555 aa). Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate. Putative cell surface coreceptor for growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins, proteases and anti-proteases. Highest expression in Artery Tibial (25.4 TPM) and Cells Cultured fibroblasts (16.8 TPM).
Autosomal recessive omodysplasia is associated with mutations in the GPC6 gene on chromosome 13.
The GPC6 protein participates in Recruitment of additional gamma tubulin/ gamma TuRC to the centrosome pathway.
GPC6 is classified as a druggable target (Cell Surface and Druggable Genome categories) with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for GPC6 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Estimated prevalence: <1 in 1,000,000 (VERY_RARE).
