MSL2 Gene

male-specific lethal 2 homolog (Drosophila)

Enables histone H2B ubiquitin ligase activity. Involved in DNA damage response and protein monoubiquitination. Part of MSL complex and nucleus. Is active in chromatin. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

MSL3 Gene

male-specific lethal 3 homolog (Drosophila)

This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is similar to the product of the Drosophila male-specific lethal-3 gene. The Drosophila protein plays a critical role in a dosage-compensation pathway, which equalizes X-linked gene expression in males and females. Thus, the human protein is thought to play a similar function in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation, and it has been found as part of a complex that is responsible for histone H4 lysine-16 acetylation. This gene can undergo X inactivation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 2, 7 and 8. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

This gene encodes a protein that is regulated by micro RNA MiR-574-3, and is thought to have an oncogenic function in human bladder cancer. A similar gene in mouse is located in a chromosomal region critical for differentiation of mesoderm, which affects embryo patterning and the formation of heart, muscle, blood, skeleton and the urogenital system. The mouse gene is expressed in early development, and in the adult. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

Predicted to be located in kinetochore. Predicted to be part of Swr1 complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

EED Gene

embryonic ectoderm development

This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. PcG family members form multimeric protein complexes, which are involved in maintaining the transcriptional repressive state of genes over successive cell generations. This protein interacts with enhancer of zeste 2, the cytoplasmic tail of integrin beta7, immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) MA protein, and histone deacetylase proteins. This protein mediates repression of gene activity through histone deacetylation, and may act as a specific regulator of integrin function. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

heart development protein with EGF-like domains 1

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity.

LOC266694 Gene

embryonic ectoderm development pseudogene

This locus is 89-91% identical to the embryonic ectoderm development gene on chromosome 11. This locus has a single exon and has no evidence of transcription, and so it is thought to be a pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

TDRP Gene

testis development related protein

Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Located in cytosol and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

LMBR1 Gene

limb development membrane protein 1

This gene encodes a member of the LMBR1-like membrane protein family. Another member of this protein family has been shown to be a lipocalin transmembrane receptor. A highly conserved, cis-acting regulatory module for the sonic hedgehog gene is located within an intron of this gene. Consequently, disruption of this genic region can alter sonic hedgehog expression and affect limb patterning, but it is not known if this gene functions directly in limb development. Mutations and chromosomal deletions and rearrangements in this genic region are associated with acheiropody and preaxial polydactyly, which likely result from altered sonic hedgehog expression.
