Gene:
distal-less homeo box 1
Gene ID:
207513
Symbol:
DLX1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of a homeobox gene family similiar to the Drosophila distal-less gene. The encoded protein is localized to the nucleus where it may function as a transcriptional regulator of signals from multiple TGF-{beta} superfamily members, and may play a role in neuronal development in the brain.
