| Gene Symbol | GEMIN6 |
| Full Name | Gem-Associated Protein 6 |
| Chromosome | 2p16.3 |
| Function | is a component of the SMN (Survival of Motor Neurons) complex, which is essential for the biogenesis of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) crucial for pre-mRNA splicing. |
| Primary Expression | motor neurons, and mutations in SMN1 (the primary SMA-causing gene) lead to spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) |
| Amino Acids | 244 aa |
