About Nkx2-9

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis; lung development; and negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesoderm; liver; and lung epithelium. Orthologous to human NKX2-8 (NK2 homeobox 8).
