Gene:
par-6 partitioning defective 6 homolog beta (C. elegans)
Gene ID:
198750
Symbol:
PARD6B
Species:
1000
Description:
Adapter protein involved in asymmetrical cell division and cell polarization processes. Probably involved in formation of epithelial tight junctions. Association with PARD3 may prevent the interaction of PARD3 with F11R/JAM1, thereby preventing tight junction assembly. The PARD6-PARD3 complex links GTP-bound Rho small GTPases to atypical protein kinase C proteins.
