SIX3 polyclonal antibody

The Six proteins (sine oculis) are a family of homeodomain transcription factors that share a conserved DNA binding domain. Six3 is required for the specification and proliferation of the eye field in vertebrates and may be involved in some developmental disorders of the brain. Expression of Six3 is detected in human embryos as early as five to seven weeks of gestation, and is maintained in the eye throughout the entire period of fetal development. At 20 weeks of gestation, expression of Six3 in the human retina has been observed in ganglion cells and in cells of the inner nuclear layer.
