IRX1 - iroquois homeobox 1 Gene
Also Known as IRX-5; IRXA1
Species: Homo sapiens
About IRX1
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 186 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 2.5), salivary gland (RPKM 1.1) and 4 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the Iroquois homeobox protein family. Homeobox genes in this family are involved in pattern formation in the embryo. The gene product has been identified as a tumor suppressor in gastric (PMID: 21602894, 20440264) and head and neck cancers (PMID: 18559491). A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13.
