Nkx6-1 - NK6 homeobox 1 Gene

Also Known as NKX6A; Nkx6.1

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 18096

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including neurogenesis; regulation of axon extension; and regulation of neuron migration. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; and gut. Orthologous to human NKX6-1 (NK6 homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
