IRX5 - iroquois homeobox 5 Gene
Also Known as HMMS; IRXB2; IRX-2a
Species: Homo sapiens
About IRX5
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 260 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in lung (RPKM 4.8), skin (RPKM 3.3) and 10 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the iroquois homeobox gene family, which are involved in several embryonic developmental processes. Knockout mice lacking this gene show that it is required for retinal cone bipolar cell differentiation, and that it negatively regulates Potassium Channel gene expression in the heart to ensure coordinated cardiac repolarization. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
