Gene:
suppressor of hairy wing homolog 2 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
194588
Symbol:
SUHW2
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene was identified by homology to other species. Its encoded protein is approximately 78-88% identical to a predicted sheep protein of unknown function. The protein is also approximately 25% identical to the Drosophila protein suppressor of hairy wing, which is a leucine zipper protein that represses the function of transcriptional enhancers of the gypsy retrotransposon.
