SIX5 Proteins and Enzymes

Six5 (homeobox protein SIX5), also known as SIX5, BOR2 or DMAHP (DM locus-associated homeodomain protein), is a transcription factor that is expressed in various structures of the adult eye. Localized to the cytoplasm in early development and to the nucleus in the later stages of development,Six5 is involved in regulation of organogenesis and in maintenance of retinal formation. Six5 is able to bind the 5'-TCA[AG][AG]TTNC-3' DNA sequence found in the myogenin and IGFBP5 promoters and, through ...
