Other Information

**Key Characteristics** IGSF6 is a single-copy gene located on chromosome 11q13.3 in humans. The gene spans approximately 15 kilobases and consists of 10 exons. The protein product of this gene, IGSF6, is a transmembrane receptor with a characteristic immunoglobulin-like domain. The receptor is expressed on the surface of various immune cells, including classical monocytes, lung macrophages, Kupffer cells, and dendritic cells. IGSF6 is also expressed in other tissues, such as the lung and liver, where it may play a role in the regulation of immune responses in these organs. **Pathways and Functions** IGSF6 is involved in several signaling pathways that regulate immune responses. The receptor interacts with its ligands, leading to the activation of downstream signaling molecules, such as Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins. These signaling molecules then regulate the expression of genes involved in immune responses, including the production of cytokines and chemokines. The primary function of IGSF6 is to modulate the functions of immune cells, such as monocytes and macrophages. The receptor is involved in the regulation of cell migration, phagocytosis, and cytokine production. IGSF6 may also play a role in the regulation of immune responses in tissues, such as the lung and liver, where it may help to maintain tissue homeostasis and prevent inflammation. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of IGSF6 has been implicated in several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. Studies have shown that IGSF6 is overexpressed in these diseases, leading to the activation of immune cells and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. IGSF6 has also been identified as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer. The receptor is overexpressed in several types of cancer, including lung and breast cancer, and its dysregulation has been linked to tumor progression and metastasis. In addition, IGSF6 has been shown to play a role in the regulation of immune responses in infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and HIV. The receptor may help to modulate the functions of immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, to prevent the progression of the disease. In summary, IGSF6 is an important regulator of immune responses, and its dysregulation has been implicated in several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, as well as cancer. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of IGSF6 in the regulation of immune responses and to develop effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these diseases.
