Gene information for FIGLA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID344018
Official gene symbolFIGLA
Full namefolliculogenesis specific basic helix-loop-helix
Aliases,BHLHC8,FIGALPHA,POF6,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that functions in postnatal oocyte-specific gene expression. The protein is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor that regulates multiple oocyte-specific genes, including genes involved in folliculogenesis and those that encode the zona pellucida. Mutations in this gene cause premature ovarian failure type 6. [provided by RefSeq]
