GSC goosecoid homeobox [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: GSCprovided by HGNC
Official Full Name: goosecoid homeoboxprovided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:4612
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000133937 MIM:138890; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4612
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
Also known as: GSC1; SAMS
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the bicoid subfamily of the paired (PRD) homeobox family of proteins. The encoded protein acts as a transcription factor and may be autoregulatory. A similar protein in mice plays a role in craniofacial and rib cage development during embryogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Expression: Biased expression in fat (RPKM 1.7), brain (RPKM 0.2) and 8 other tissues 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.
