Gene: NKX3-1 (NK3 homeobox 1) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

NKX3-1

Name:

NK3 homeobox 1

Description:

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]

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

REVIEWED
