ALX1 - ALX homeobox 1 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as FND3; CART1; HEL23

Gene ID: 8092 | Gene type: protein coding

About ALX1

Cytogenetic location: 12q21.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:85,280,220-85,301,784 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 197 orthologues, 50 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 1.7), ovary (RPKM 0.6) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

The specific function of this gene has yet to be determined in humans; however, in rodents, it is necessary for survival of the forebrain mesenchyme and may also be involved in development of the cervix. Mutations in the mouse gene lead to neural tube defects such as acrania and meroanencephaly. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
