Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus
Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Acts upstream of or within detection of visible light; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and retina morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endocardial lining; genitourinary system; limb; and retina. Orthologous to human IRX6 (iroquois homeobox 6).

What's a GeneRIF?

In mouse embryos there was no significant upregulation of Haao expression in the developing male external genitalia. Irx6 was expressed in the ectodermal epithelium, demonstrating prominent dorsal ectodermal expression without expression in the ventral ectoderm adjacent to the urethral plate during the same period.

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.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001288066.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice junction at the 5' end of the last exon compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (2) has the same N- and C-termini but is 1 aa shorter compared to isoform 1.
