Description
Product Characteristics:
Putative transcription factor involved in pancreas development and function.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: HB9, HLXB9, SCRA1, HOXHB9, Motor neuron and pancreas homeobox protein 1, Homeobox protein HB9, MNX1
Target Information: This gene encodes a nuclear protein, which contains a homeobox domain and is a transcription factor. Mutations in this gene result in Currarino syndrome, an autosomic dominant congenital malformation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
