DACH2 - dachshund family transcription factor 2 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About DACH2
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 257 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 3.6) and kidney (RPKM 0.3).
Summary
This gene is one of two genes which encode a protein similar to the Drosophila protein dachshund, a transcription factor involved in cell fate determination in the eye, limb and genital disc of the fly. The encoded protein contains two characteristic dachshund domains: an N-terminal domain responsible for DNA binding and a C-terminal domain responsible for protein-protein interactions. This gene is located on the X chromosome and is subject to inactivation by DNA methylation. The encoded protein may be involved in regulation of organogenesis and myogenesis, and may play a role in premature ovarian failure. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
