About NKX2-3

Cytogenetic location: 10q24.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 10:99,532,942-99,536,524 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 237 orthologues and 13 paralogues. Biased expression in spleen (RPKM 11.9), small intestine (RPKM 4.8) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a homeodomain-containing transcription factor. The encoded protein is a member of the NKX family of homeodomain transcription factors. Studies of similar proteins in mouse and rat have indicated a potential role in cellular differentiation.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
