{"symbol":"FIGLA","synonyms":["BHLHC8","FIGALPHA","POF6"],"name":"folliculogenesis specific basic helix-loop-helix","description":"This gene encodes a protein that functions in postnatal oocyte-specific gene expression. The protein is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that regulates multiple oocyte-specific genes, including genes involved in folliculogenesis and those that encode the zona pellucida. Mutations in this gene cause premature ovarian failure type 6.
