ID:BARX1_MOUSE DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Homeobox protein BarH-like 1; FUNCTION: Transcription factor, which is involved in craniofacial development, in odontogenesis and in stomach organogenesis. May have a role in the differentiation of molars from incisors. Plays a role in suppressing endodermal Wnt activity. Binds to a regulatory module of the NCAM promoter. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Probable). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed predominantly in the facial primordia, developing stomach, and proximal limbs. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Expressed in areas of the first and second branchial arches, before any apparent cellular or morphologic differentiation. Later in development, all expressing tissue in this region, including the mesenchyme underlying the olfactory epithelium, the primary and secondary palate, the molar tooth papillae, and the stroma of the submandibular gland, appear to be derived from ectomesenchyme of neural crest origin. By day 16.5, all areas except the developing molars are BARX1-negative. In addition, BARX1 marks the area of the future stomach in the primitive gut at embryonic day 9.5, and is present in the mesenchymal wall of the stomach until embryonic day 16.5. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the BAR homeobox family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
