NOBOX NOBOX oogenesis homeobox

Gene ID: 135935, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: OG2; OG-2; OG2X; POF5; TCAG_12042

Summary

This homeobox gene encodes a transcription factor that is thought to play a role in oogenesis. In mice, it is essential for folliculogenesis and regulation of oocyte-specific genes. Defects in this gene result in premature ovarian failure type 5.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
