WormBase ID: WBGene00006775 WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human SIX4 (SIX homeobox 4) and SIX5 (SIX homeobox 5). Is predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; mesodermal cell migration; and oviposition. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including RID; amphid neurons; body wall musculature; coelomocyte; and neuroblasts. Is used to study branchiootorenal syndrome and myotonic dystrophy type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in branchiootorenal syndrome 2. |
