Introduction
SIX Homeobox 6 (SIX6) is a member of the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. The SIX6 protein is essential in embryonic development by providing necessary instructions for the formation of the forebrain and eye development. SIX6 is expressed in the developing and ***** retina, hypothalamic and the pituitary regions. SIX6 gene defects are the cause of microphthalmia isolated with cataract type 2.
Description
SIX6 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 269 amino acids (1-246 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 30.1kDa.
SIX6 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
