Gene: [17q2/FKHL13] forkhead (Drosophila)-like 13; [HFH-4 ]
|
COM |
FKHL13 is the human homologue of the mouse hepatocyte nuclear factor 3/fork head homologue 4 (HFH-4) gene, a member of the HNF-3/fork head (also called winged helix) gene family. Members of this gene family contain a conserved DNA binding region of approx. 110 amino acids and are thought to play an important role in cell-specific differentiation (Murphy-1997)." |
|
FUN |
FKHL13 expression pattern suggests that the gene plays an important role in the differentiation of lung and oviduct/ ampulla epithelial cells and testicular spermatids (Murphy-1997)." |
|
GEN |
The gene length: 6 kb (approx.); exons: 2; introns: 1 (Murphy-1997). |
