SIX1 SIX homeobox 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6495)

Symbol: SIX1

Full name: SIX homeobox 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: BOS3; DFNA23; TIP39

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a homeobox protein that is similar to the Drosophila 'sine oculis' gene product. This gene is found in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 14 and is thought to be involved in limb development. Defects in this gene are a cause of autosomal dominant deafness type 23 (DFNA23) and branchiootic syndrome type 3 (BOS3). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
