High impact information on LOC561617

A novel homeobox gene, dharma, can induce the organizer in a non-cell-autonomous manner [1].
To identify novel homeobox genes expressed during mouse embryogenesis, we searched the databases and found a novel mouse paired-like homeobox gene, Dmbx1(diencephalon/mesencephalon-expressed brain homeobox gene 1), that is also conserved in zebrafish and human [2].
We have isolated a novel homeobox gene that is expressed in the vertebrate central nervous system and which shows striking similarity to the Drosophila al gene in the homeodomain (85% identity) and in a 17 amino acid-sequence near the carboxyl-terminus [3].
