CCDC6 gene product is a pro-apoptotic protein substrate of ATM whose loss or inactivation enhances tumor progression. In primary tumors the impaired function of CCDC6 protein has been ascribed to CCDC6 rearrangements, to somatic mutations and to CCDC6 different levels in several neoplasia. The CCDC6 turnover is regulated in a cell cycle dependent manner upon post-translational modification events. The impairment of CCDC6 turnover may affect cells behaviour and drug response.
