Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Acts upstream of or within regulation of inner ear receptor cell differentiation; regulation of skeletal muscle cell proliferation; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior migratory muscle precursor stream; middle migratory muscle precursor stream; musculature system; nervous system; and posterior migratory muscle precursor stream. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 23; branchiootorenal syndrome; and nephroblastoma. Orthologous to human SIX1 (SIX homeobox 1).

six1a and pax3 do not function in the same regulatory network. We proposed four putative regulatory pathways to understand how six1a distinctly interacts with either myf5 or myod during zebrafish craniofacial muscle development.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
