Description

The SURF6 (surfeit 6) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 9.

SURF6, a human gene, belongs to the surfeit gene cluster, a group of closely related genes without sequence similarity. SURF6 displays characteristics of a housekeeping gene, being expressed in all cells. The encoded protein is localized to the nucleolus and contains motifs found in its mouse and fish counterparts, suggesting its role as a nucleolar-matrix protein with nucleic acid-binding properties.
