ARMCX6 is a 300-residue eutherian-specific armadillo-repeat protein of the X-linked ARMCX cluster, which arose from the ancestral gene ARMC10. Like its relatives it has an N-terminal transmembrane segment, and its mouse ortholog is mitochondrial. GFP-tagged ARMCX6 is cytoplasmic in HeLa cells. It is expected to share the family's role in regulating mitochondrial dynamics and axonal transport, although ARMCX6 itself has not been tested. Its transcript is enriched in pancreas and spleen.

Download this section (compressed HTML)Q: ARMCX6 transcripts are highly detected in pancreas and spleen. Does it act in mitochondrial transport in non-neuronal cells, or has it diverged from ARMCX1-3?
Experiment: Confirm endogenous ARMCX6 localization by fractionation, and test its effect on mitochondrial motility and distribution after knockdown in pancreatic or immune cells.
