Also known as Six9
Summary
SIX6 (SIX homeobox 6, HGNC:10892) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q23.1, encoding Homeobox protein SIX6 (O95475). May be involved in eye development.
The 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).
