ZFHX3
Description
The Zfhx3 gene, also known as the zinc finger homeobox 3 gene, plays a crucial role in regulating embryonic development, cell differentiation, and tissue homeostasis. It encodes a transcription factor that binds to specific DNA sequences, influencing the expression of target genes involved in various biological processes. Zfhx3 is highly expressed during embryogenesis and is essential for the development of multiple organ systems, including the heart, brain, and skeletal system. Mutations in the Zfhx3 gene can lead to a range of developmental disorders and diseases.
