Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** The SIX4 gene is a transcription factor that belongs to the SIX family of homeobox genes. It encodes a protein that binds to specific DNA sequences, regulating the expression of target genes involved in developmental processes. The SIX4 protein exhibits a unique ability to bind to both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA, making it a versatile transcriptional regulator. Its expression is tightly regulated during embryonic development, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various developmental abnormalities and diseases. **Pathways and Functions:** The SIX4 gene is involved in multiple signaling pathways, including: 1. **Embryonic development:** SIX4 regulates the expression of genes involved in cranial skeleton morphogenesis, inner ear development, and gonad formation. 2. **Immune regulation:** SIX4 is expressed in thymic epithelial cells and regulates the development of immune cells, including T cells and mast cells. 3. **Cell proliferation and differentiation:** SIX4 regulates the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. 4. **Transcriptional regulation:** SIX4 interacts with other transcription factors to regulate the expression of target genes involved in various developmental processes. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of the SIX4 gene has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Developmental abnormalities:** SIX4 mutations have been associated with craniosynostosis, inner ear abnormalities, and gonadal dysgenesis. 2. **Immune disorders:** SIX4 is involved in the regulation of immune cell development and function, and its dysregulation has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, such as allergies and autoimmune disorders. 3. **Cancer:** SIX4 has been shown to be a tumor suppressor gene, and its dysregulation has been implicated in various types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer. In conclusion, the SIX4 gene plays a crucial role in developmental morphogenesis and immune regulation, and its dysregulation has significant clinical implications. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the mechanisms by which SIX4 regulates developmental processes and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target for various diseases.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
