Gene: FIGLA

Alternate names for this Gene: BHLHC8|FIGALPHA|POF6

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that functions in postnatal oocyte-specific gene expression. The protein is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that regulates multiple oocyte-specific genes, including genes involved in folliculogenesis and those that encode the zona pellucida. Mutations in this gene cause premature ovarian failure type 6.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p13.3

Description of this Gene: folliculogenesis specific bHLH transcription factor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
