Gene information for SIM1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6492
Official gene symbolSIM1
Full namesingle-minded homolog 1 (Drosophila)
Aliases,bHLHe14,
Gene summarySIM1 and SIM2 genes are Drosophila single-minded (sim) gene homologs. SIM1 transcript was detected only in fetal kidney out of various adult and fetal tissues tested. Since the sim gene plays an important role in Drosophila development and has peak levels of expression during the period of neurogenesis,it was proposed that the human SIM gene is a candidate for involvement in certain dysmorphic features (particularly the facial and skull characteristics), abnormalities of brain development, and/or mental retardation of Down syndrome.
