HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: CCT6B
Cytogenetic location: 17q12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:34,927,861-34,961,460 (from NCBI)
Using differential mRNA display to identify testis-specific transcripts, Ozaki et al. (1996) cloned CCT6B, which they called TSA303. The deduced 540-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 59.5 kD. CCT6B shares 83% amino acid identity with TCP20 (CCT6A; 104613), suggesting it may be a component of a chaperonin complex.
Kubota et al. (1997) cloned mouse Cct6b, which they called Cctz2. The deduced protein contains 531 amino acids. Northern blot analysis of mouse tissues detected Cct6b expression only in testis.
The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the CCT6B gene to chromosome 17 (RH71331).
