GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
LEFTY1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
LEFTB, LEFTYB
Description
Left-right determination factor 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the TGF-beta family of proteins. A similar secreted protein in mouse plays a role in left-right asymmetry determination of organ systems during development. Alternative processing of this protein can yield three different products. This gene is closely linked to both a related family member and a related pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
