(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4990
Official gene symbolSIX6
Full nameSIX homeobox 6
Aliases,MCOPCT2,OPTX2,Six9,
Gene summaryThe 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 eye development. Defects in this gene are a cause of isolated microphthalmia with cataract type 2 (MCOPCT2). [provided by RefSeq]
