Homeobox proteinDLX-6 is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theDLX6gene.[5][6]
This gene encodes a member of a homeobox transcription factor gene family similar to theDrosophiladistal-less gene. This family has at least six members that encode proteins with roles in forebrain and craniofacial development. This gene is in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the family,DLX5, on the long arm of chromosome 7.[6]
