Also Known as Nkx2-9

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 299061

Summary

Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within axonogenesis; lung development; and negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Located in nucleus. Orthologous to human NKX2-8 (NK2 homeobox 8).
