TSSK6 testis specific serine kinase 6 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: TSSK6provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: testis specific serine kinase 6provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:30410
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000178093 MIM:610712; AllianceGenome:HGNC:30410
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: CT72; SSTK; TSSK4; FKSG82
Summary: This intronless gene encodes a member of the CAMK (calcium/calmodulin-dependent) serine/threonine protein kinase family. The encoded kinase has a broad expression pattern but is described as testis-specific due to effects on fertility. Male mice which lack the gene encoding a highly similar protein are sterile and have morphologically abnormal sperm. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Title: Testis-specific serine kinase 6 (TSSK6) is abnormally expressed in colorectal cancer and promotes oncogenic behaviors.
findings, for the first time, suggested an association of c.822+126T>G/C in TSSK6 with spermatogenic impairment in humans in which allele T may be a risk factor for male infertility, while alleles C and G may decrease susceptibility to male infertility

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
