Fkbp6 - FK506 binding protein 6

This gene is a member of the FK506-binding protein (Fkbp) family. The encoded protein plays a role in male-specific fertility and homologous pairing of chromosomes during meiosis. The protein may also be involved in LINE1 transposon silencing and binding to Hsp90 as a co-chaperone. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
