zic family member 3 heterotaxy 1 (odd-paired homolog, Drosophila)
Synonyms
cb807
id:ibd2176
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior axis specification and determination of left/right symmetry. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; mesoderm; neural keel; neural plate; and presumptive structure. Used to study right atrial isomerism; spina bifida; and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked VACTERL association; situs inversus; and visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to human ZIC3 (Zic family member 3).
