Facts about Homeobox protein SIX2.
Acts through its interaction with TCF7L2 and OSR1 in a canonical Wnt signaling independent manner preventing transcription of differentiation genes in cap mesenchyme such as WNT4. Additionally acts independently of OSR1 to activate expression of many cap mesenchyme genes, such as itself, GDNF and OSR1.
