Gene: DUSP15

Alternate names for this Gene: C20orf57|VHY

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene has both protein-tyrosine phophatase activity and serine/threonine-specific phosphatase activity, and therefore is known as a dual specificity phosphatase. This protein may function in the differentiation of oligodendrocytes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q11.21

Description of this Gene: dual specificity phosphatase 15

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: FOXS1

Alternate names for this Gene: FKHL18|FREAC10

Gene Summary: The forkhead family of transcription factors belongs to the winged helix class of DNA-binding proteins. The protein encoded by this intronless gene contains a forkhead domain and is found predominantly in aorta and kidney. The function of the encoded protein is unknown.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q11.21

Description of this Gene: forkhead box S1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
