BARX1 BARX homeobox 1 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: BARX1provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: BARX homeobox 1provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:955
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000131668 MIM:603260; AllianceGenome:HGNC:955
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Bar subclass of homeobox transcription factors. Studies of the mouse and chick homolog suggest the encoded protein may play a role in developing teeth and craniofacial mesenchyme of neural crest origin. The protein may also be associated with differentiation of stomach epithelia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Expression: Biased expression in stomach (RPKM 5.0), testis (RPKM 0.6) and 1 other tissue See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
