Tubulin Polyglutamylase TTLL6
Protein Polyglutamylase TTLL6
FLJ35808
TTL.6
EC 6.3.2.-
Predicted to enable tubulin binding activity and tubulin-glutamic acid ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule bundle formation; protein polyglutamylation; and regulation of cilium beat frequency involved in ciliary motility. Predicted to act upstream of or within microtubule severing and positive regulation of cilium movement. Located in ciliary basal body. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
Forensic Context
A study in humans identified the TTLL6 as a gene differentially expressed in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of individuals with alcohol use disorder and found it to be significantly associated with drinks per week in a genome-wide association study lookup [Willis et al.
