Name

PKNOX1 Gene

PBX/knotted 1 homeobox 1

Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in angiogenesis and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within camera-type eye development; hemopoiesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol and nucleus.

PKNOX2 Gene

PBX/knotted 1 homeobox 2

Homeodomain proteins are sequence-specific transcription factors that share a highly conserved DNA-binding domain and play fundamental roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and death. PKNOX2 belongs to the TALE (3-amino acid loop extension) class of homeodomain proteins characterized by a 3-amino acid extension between alpha helices 1 and 2 within the homeodomain (Imoto et al., 2001 [PubMed 11549286]).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]
