Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and MADS box domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chordate embryonic development; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and reproductive structure development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell proliferation involved in salivary gland morphogenesis; morphogenesis of a branching epithelium; and negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation involved in prostate gland development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including arterial system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; paraxial mesenchyme; and tooth. Used to study prostate cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human NKX3-1 (NK3 homeobox 1).
