{{Short description|Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens}} {{Infobox_gene}} '''Programmed cell death protein 6''' is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''PDCD6'' gene.<ref name="pmid8560270">{{cite journal |vauthors=Vito P, Lacana E, D'Adamio L | title = Interfering with apoptosis: Ca(2+)-binding protein ALG-2 and Alzheimer's disease gene ALG-3 | journal = Science | volume = 271 | issue = 5248 | pages = 521–5 | date=February 1996| pmid = 8560270 | doi =10.1126/science.271.5248.521 | bibcode =1996Sci...271..521V| s2cid = 22286752 | url = https://zenodo.org/record/1231054 }}</ref>

This gene encodes a calcium-binding protein belonging to the penta-EF-hand protein family. Calcium binding is important for homodimerization and for conformational changes required for binding to other protein partners. This gene product participates in T cell receptor-, Fas-, and glucocorticoid-induced programmed cell death. In mice deficient for this gene product, however, apoptosis was not blocked suggesting this gene product is functionally redundant.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: PDCD6 programmed cell death 6| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=10016}}</ref>
