SIX Homeobox 6 (SIX6) is a member of the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. The SIX6 protein is essential in embryonic development by providing necessary instructions for the formation of the forebrain and eye development. SIX6 is expressed in the developing and adult retina, hypothalamic and the pituitary regions. SIX6 gene defects are the cause of microphthalmia isolated with cataract type 2.
SIX6 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 269 amino acids (1-246 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 30.1kDa.SIX6 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
| UniProt Protein Function: | SIX6: May be involved in eye development. Defects in SIX6 are the cause of microphthalmia isolated with cataract type 2 (MCOPCT2). Microphthalmia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues. Ocular abnormalities like opacities of the cornea and lens, scaring of the retina and choroid, cataractand other abnormalities like cataract may also be present. Belongs to the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family. |

| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a homeobox protein that is similar to the Drosophila 'sine oculis' gene product. This gene is found in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 14 and is thought to be involved in eye development. Defects in this gene are a cause of isolated microphthalmia with cataract type 2 (MCOPCT2). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
