nomenclature changes

06/19/2017 Human symbol has changed for genepage ID: 972291 From taf9 to AK6

Note

Xenopus has a taf9b gene that is the homelog of the Human TAF9 (GeneID: 6880).

summary from NCBI

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the adenylate kinase family of enzymes. The protein has a nuclear localization and contains Walker A (P-loop) and Walker B motifs and a metal-coordinating residue. The protein may be involved in regulation of Cajal body formation. In human, AK6 and TAF9 (GeneID: 6880) are two distinct genes that share 5' exons. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
