rs281865436

What is the rs281865436 variant?

rs281865436 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the G6PC (Glucose-6-Phosphatase Catalytic Subunit) gene. It belongs to the Metabolic category and is part of the Metabolic Regulation biological cluster. G6PC encodes glucose-6-phosphatase, the liver enzyme catalyzing the final step in gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the G6PC gene, which is involved in the hepatic glucose output / glycogen storage pathway. Genes within the Metabolic Regulation cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.
