Polycomb group RING finger protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PCGF6 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Akasaka T, Takahashi N, Suzuki M, Koseki H, Bodmer R, Koga H | title = MBLR, a new RING finger protein resembling mammalian Polycomb gene products, is regulated by cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation | journal = Genes Cells | volume = 7 | issue = 8 | pages = 835–50 |date=Aug 2002 | pmid = 12167161 | doi =10.1046/j.1365-2443.2002.00565.x | hdl = 2027.42/72663 | s2cid = 23060582 | url = https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/72663/1/j.1365-2443.2002.00565.x.pdf | hdl-access = free }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: PCGF6 polycomb group ring finger 6| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=84108}}
The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger motif, which is most closely related to those of polycomb group (PcG) proteins RNF110/MEL-18 and BMI1. PcG proteins are known to form protein complexes and function as transcription repressors. This protein has been shown to interact with some PcG proteins and act as a transcription repressor. The activity of this protein is found to be regulated by cell cycle dependent phosphorylation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
