Gene ID:
198799
Symbol:
NKX2-3
Species:
1000
Description:
NKX2C is a member of the NKX family of homeodomain-containing transcription factors, which are implicated in many aspects of cell type specification and maintenance of differentiated tissue functions. See Harvey (1996) for a review of the structure, regulation, function, and evolution of NK2 homeobox genes with an emphasis on their roles in heart development.[supplied by OMIM]
