SIX2, Homeobox protein SIX2, Sine oculis homeobox homolog 2
This gene is a member of the vertebrate gene family which encode proteins homologous to the Drosophila sine oculis homeobox protein. The encoded protein is a transcription factor which, like other members of this gene family, may be involved in limb or eye development. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008],function:May be involved in limb tendon and ligament development.,similarity:Belongs to the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,tissue specificity:Strongly expressed in skeletal muscle.,
