Gene: OTX1

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the bicoid sub-family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors. The encoded protein acts as a transcription factor and may play a role in brain and sensory organ development. A similar protein in mouse is required for proper brain and sensory organ development and can cause epilepsy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p15

Description of this Gene: orthodenticle homeobox 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
