Gene: OVOL1

Alternate names for this Gene: HOVO1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a putative zinc finger containing transcription factor that is highly similar to homologous protein in Drosophila and mouse. Based on known functions in these species, this protein is likely involved in hair formation and spermatogenesis in human as well.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11q13.1

Description of this Gene: ovo like transcriptional repressor 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
