    basic FUNCTION
  • putatively involved in differentiation or maturation of neuronal cells and retinal development
  • SIX1 and SIX4 regulate SLC12A2
  • SIX1 and SIX4 may act synergistically to mediate olfactory placode specification and patterning through FGF and BMP signaling pathways
  • SIX1 and SIX4 are essential global regulators of muscle gene expression, as well as a central switch to drive the skeletal muscle fast phenotype during fetal development
  • SIX1 and SIX4 function synergistically to form gustatory papillae during development of the tongue
  • SMARCD3-SIX4 transcriptional complex inducing DEPTOR and mediating activation of AKT1 and glycolytic metabolism by SMARCD3 in a cell-autonomous manner
  • SIX1 and SIX4 are required for male gonadal differentiation
  • combinatorial expression of SIX1, SIX2, and SIX4 is required for the molecular programs governing craniofacial and cerebral development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
