Gene: DACH1
Alternate names for this Gene: DACH
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a chromatin-associated protein that associates with other DNA-binding transcription factors to regulate gene expression and cell fate determination during development. The protein contains a Ski domain that is highly conserved from Drosophila to human. Expression of this gene is lost in some forms of metastatic cancer, and is correlated with poor prognosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 13
Location in Chromosome : 13q21.33
Description of this Gene: dachshund family transcription factor 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
