About Alx1

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; mesenchymal cell development; and roof of mouth development. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb primordium; and nose. Orthologous to human ALX1 (ALX homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
