Gene:
TGFB-induced factor 2-like, Y-linked
Gene ID:
192259
Symbol:
TGIF2LY
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the TALE/TGIF homeobox family of transcription factors. This gene lies within the male specific region of chromosome Y, in a block of sequence that is thought to be the result of a large X-to-Y transposition. The C-terminus of this protein is divergent from that of its chromosome X homolog (TGIF2LX), suggesting that this protein may act as a regulator of TGIF2LX.
