SIX4 - SIX homeobox 4 Gene
Also Known as AREC3
Species: Homo sapiens
About SIX4
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 225 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Broad expression in prostate (RPKM 2.0), salivary gland (RPKM 1.8) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the homeobox family, subfamily SIX. The drosophila homolog is a nuclear homeoprotein required for eye development. Studies in mouse show that this gene product functions as a transcription factor, and may have a role in the differentiation or maturation of neuronal cells. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
