Summary: Predicted to enable sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; enteric nervous system development; and regulation of T-helper cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human HLX (H2.0 like homeobox). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

HLX is a homeobox transcription factor gene which is relatively conserved across species. Hlx homozygous null mice have a short bowel and reduced muscle cells in the diaphragm, closely resembling the anomalies in the two fetuses and we therefore suggest that the HLX mutation in this family could explain the fetal findings
Title: HLX is a candidate gene for a pattern of anomalies associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, short bowel, and asplenia.
Prdm16 interacts with the transcription factor Hlx, which is stabilized in response to beta3-adrenergic signaling, to increase thermogenic gene expression and mitochondrial biogenesis in subcutaneous WAT.
Title: Transcription factor Hlx controls a systematic switch from white to brown fat through Prdm16-mediated co-activation.
methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), an epigenetic regulator, controls autoimmunity and EAE through T-bet/Hlx.
Title: MBD2 regulates TH17 differentiation and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by controlling the homeostasis of T-bet/Hlx axis.
Hlx regulates sprouting in vitro, but its role in sprouting is nonessential in vivo. HLX is regulated by shear stress and a subtle defect in vascular remodeling is present in knockout embryos.
Title: The H2.0-like homeobox transcription factor modulates yolk sac vascular remodeling in mouse embryos.
Results shown that over-expressed Hlx in DC2.4 up-regulated the transcription and expression of IFN-gamma, increased the expression of maturation makers including CD40, CD80, CD86, MHC-I and MHC-II
Title: Over-expression of Hlx homeobox gene in DC2.4 dendritic cell enhances its maturation and antigen presentation.
Transient over-expression of Hlx in DC2.4 promotes DC2.4 maturation and up-regulates IL-12, IL-10 and TGF-beta expression. H1x modified DC2.4 cells seem to function as regulatory dendritic cells
Title: [Functional study of transcription factor Hlx modified dendritic cell line DC2.4].
Hlx expression in activated NK cells temporally controls and limits the monokine-induced production of interferon-gamma
Title: Hlx homeobox transcription factor negatively regulates interferon-gamma production in monokine-activated natural killer cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
