Dachshund homolog 1 (Drosophila), also known as DACH1, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the DACH1 gene.[1][2][3]
Contents |
This gene is similar to the D. melanogaster dachshund gene, which encodes a nuclear factor essential for determining cell fates in the eye, leg, and nervous system of the fly. It is a member of the Ski gene family and is thought to be involved in eye development. Four alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[3]
DACH1 has been shown to interact with UBE2I.[4][5]

Dachshund homolog 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DACH2 gene.
This gene is one of two genes which encode a protein similar to the Drosophila protein dachshund, a transcription factor involved in cell fate determination in the eye, limb and genital disc of the fly. The encoded protein contains two characteristic dachshund domains: an N-terminal domain responsible for DNA binding and a C-terminal domain responsible for protein-protein interactions. This gene is located on the X chromosome and is subject to inactivation by DNA methylation. The encoded protein may be involved in regulation of organogenesis and myogenesis, and may play a role in premature ovarian failure.
The following is a list of the territorial entities where German is an official language. It includes countries, which have German as (one of) their nationwide official language(s), as well as dependent territories with German as a co-official language.
German is the official language of six sovereign countries, all of which lie in central Europe. These countries (with the addition of South Tyrol) also form the Council for German Orthography.
German, or one of its dialects, is a co-official language in several dependent entities. In each of these regions, German, along with the official language of the host nation, is an official language on the administrative level.
In the two Slovakian villages of Krahule/Blaufuss and
Kunešov/Kuneschhau (population ∑ 530) the percentage of ethnic Germans exceeds 20%, therefore making German a co-official language according to Slovakian law. However, due to the size of the villages and the approximate number of native German speakers (~100), the administrative impact is negligible.
