About TNRC6B

Enables RNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay; positive regulation of nuclear-transcribed mRNA poly(A) tail shortening; and regulatory ncRNA-mediated gene silencing. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on miRNA-mediated gene silencing by inhibition of translation. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in P-body and nucleoplasm. Implicated in subserous uterine fibroid and uterine fibroid. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
