Gene: BARX1

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q22.32

Description of this Gene: BARX homeobox 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
