Gene: MORN5

Alternate names for this Gene: C9orf113|C9orf18

Gene Summary:

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q33.2

Description of this Gene: MORN repeat containing 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: LHX6

Alternate names for this Gene: LHX6.1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a large protein family that contains the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein has tandem LIM domains as well as a DNA-binding homeodomain. The protein functions as a transcription factor involved in embryogenesis and head development and is highly expressed in neural crest derived mesenchyme cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
