| Primary Identifier | MGI:101927 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 13396 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; and roof of mouth development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study split hand-foot malformation 1. Orthologous to human DLX6 (distal-less homeobox 6). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations at both Dlx5 and Dlx6 exhibit bilateral ectrodactyly, homeotic transformation of the lower jaw into an upper jaw, and perinatal lethality.
