Gene: [11q13/ARIX] aristaless (Drosophila) homeobox;

COM

The ARIX gene was mapped to 11q13.3-q13.4 by analysis of somatic cell hybrid panels and FISH (Johnson-1996)."

FUN

ARIX may be involved in regulating the specificity of expression of the catecholamine biosynthetic genes, e.g. dopamine beta-hydroxylase (GEM:09q343/DBH) and tyrosine hydroxylase (GEM:11p155/TH) (Zellmer-1995)."
