Description
Description
Sine oculis homeobox (SIX) transcription factors are sequence-specific DNA binding proteins that regulate transcription and play important role in development. They are characterized by 120 amino acid SIX-type DNA-binding domain N-terminal to a homeodomain. (Adapted from FBrf0232555, FBrf0128773 and PMID:18797923).
