Gene: Nkx2-6 (NK2 homeobox 6) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Nkx2-6
Name: NK2 homeobox 6
RGD ID: 1306149
Description: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heart development; hypothalamus development; and tongue development. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of epithelial cell apoptotic process; pharyngeal system development; and positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial atrial fibrillation and ventricular septal defect. Orthologous to human NKX2-6 (NK2 homeobox 6); INTERACTS WITH 6-propyl-2-thiouracil; acrylamide; amitrole.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: PROVISIONAL
Previously known as: homeobox protein Nkx-2.6; LOC364418; MGC188338; NK2 transcription factor related, locus 6; NK2 transcription factor related, locus 6 (Drosophila)
