Results for "NKX3-2": 2 genes

Name

NKX3-2 Gene

NK3 homeobox 2

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; negative regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including intestinal epithelial cell development; middle ear morphogenesis; and skeletal system development. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

NKX3-1 Gene

NK3 homeobox 1

This gene encodes a homeobox-containing transcription factor. This transcription factor functions as a negative regulator of epithelial cell growth in prostate tissue. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with prostate tumor progression. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
