Summary: Predicted to enable sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including diaphragm development; endocrine pancreas development; and nervous system development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; lung epithelium; and notochord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Currarino syndrome. Orthologous to human MNX1 (motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
