Glypican-6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPC6 gene.The glypicans comprise a family of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored heparan sulfate proteoglycans. The glypicans have been implicated in the control of cell growth and division. Glypican 6 is a putative cell surface coreceptor for growth factors extracellular matrix proteins proteases and anti-proteases.
