 Brain-specific homeobox

Brain-specific homeobox (Bsx) is a gene that encodes a transcription factor involved in the development and function of the brain. Transcription factors are proteins that help regulate the expression of other genes, playing crucial roles in various biological processes, including development, differentiation, and metabolism. The Bsx gene is particularly notable for its role in the development of certain neuronal populations and in the regulation of various brain functions.
