Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 60529
Gene name ALX homeobox 4
Gene symbol ALX4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CRS5FND2
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11p11.2
Summary This gene encodes a paired-like homeodomain transcription factor expressed in the mesenchyme of developing bones, limbs, hair, teeth, and mammary tissue. Mutations in this gene cause parietal foramina 2 (PFM2); an autosomal dominant disease characterized
