NKX2-1

Species
Homo sapiens
Symbol
NKX2-1
Name
NK2 homeobox 1
Synonyms
  • BCH
  • BHC
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including globus pallidus development; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Implicated in choreatic disease and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a protein initially identified as a thyroid-specific transcription factor. The encoded protein binds to the thyroglobulin promoter and regulates the expression of thyroid-specific genes but has also been shown to regulate the expression of genes involved in morphogenesis. Mutations and deletions in this gene are associated with benign hereditary chorea, choreoathetosis, congenital hypothyroidism, and neonatal respiratory distress, and may be associated with thyroid cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. This gene shares the symbol/alias 'TTF1' with another gene, transcription termination factor 1, which plays a role in ribosomal gene transcription. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
