Protein-coding gene in humans
Armadillo repeat containing X-linked 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARMCX6 gene located on the X-chromosome.[5]
It is one of six armadillo repeats containing X-linked proteins (ARMCX1, ARMCX2, ARMCX3, ARMCX4, ARMCX5, and ARMCX6 (this protein)).
The function of this protein is unknown at this time.
