Recombinant human SIX6 protein
SIX6, also as known as OPTX2 and SIX9, belongs to the SIX/Sine oculis homeobox family contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain. The SIX homeobox protein is crucial in embryonic development by providing necessary instructions for the formation of the forebrain and eye development. This protein expressed in the developing and adult retina, hypothalamic and the pituitary regions. Defects in SIX6 are the cause of microphthalmia isolated with cataract type 2. Microphthalmia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues. Recombinant human SIX6 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
